This is a great sleeper; a hidden gem. Bobby sings it so well, and is, like, on key and stuff! High energy taboot. Gotta check it out!!!

Fillmore East (Late Show)

This is a fun version and Pig is killin' it. Some great Jerry banter immediately after the tune ends... But that's not why I submitted it. Solid!

As much as I love the entire Fillmore run, I think this version surpasses those in execution and vocal performance. Jerry sounds great!

best of '77. (also the shortest.) near-perfect execution, perfectly lazy groove, great vocals. what more do you need?

a great example of balls-out energy while being able to hold it together. i never paid much attention to this song until i heard this one!
