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!!!

Ain't It Crazy (The Rub)

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!

Nice call! My favorite '70s Bertha. You can tell they're all having a great time.

Great, insane jam between NFA & GDTR. Caught me off-guard.

I love this version for it's uniqueness. I've never heard a DS quite like this one. A must-hear.

Fillmore East (Late Show)

A lot of people rave about the late show version because, if I remember right, it was a part of a great suite of tunes. (?) However, I LOVE the early show stand-alone version. It has the best live harmonies I've ever heard on this tune. Check it out.

This is a super-tight early-ish M&mU that gets overlooked because of the epic versions of heavy-hitters in this show. Bob sings relaxed and on-key.
