Blistering encore. One of the fastest and hottest I've ever heard. I think I just wet my pants!!!

These early versions, Jerry has some problems remembering when to sing the right lyrics.

A good example of how the shorter Pigpen tunes can still be really good.

Yeah, it's the best out there. If you have to find faults, it is kinda rough sounding and Jerry has that whiny singing voice. Still, it's the best.

Brent explodes during the first instrumental break, then Jerry takes the lead. After some solid vocals, Jerry jams it out tight. Not just a throwaway version.

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

Nice instrumental break jamming from Jerry and Vice. Great vocals by Bob and some nice harmonies. More 1991 sweetness.

Yeah, he flubs things a couple of times, but overall the vocals are good.

Short but sweet instrumental break for Jerry.
