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!!!

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?
