Good vocals from Bob - excellent jamming from Bruce and Jerry. Isn't this song almost always good?

Bob channels his inner Pigpen. I dig it.

Bob's "Polka time, everybody!" line, solid guitar work by Jerry and Keith being there to lead us into every turn in the song. this is a great example of how focused and spot on Keith could be.

Bob flubs a line, but Jerry sparkles on his short instrumentals, the second shared with a spot on Keith.

Winterland Arena

Nice interplay between Jerry and Keith, with the only problem it being too brief.

Pretty lackluster, with a vocal flub. It sure isn't played with the intensity of those Europe versions.

Great vocals from Bob, but what stands out is the second instrumental break. For this song, it goes on forever. There are two points where Jerry is ready to move on, but in a simple twist of fate, Bob will just not get up there and start singing and Jerry just goes on and on. Definately worth a listen.
