Shocked that I get to submit this a day after the 50th anniversary! Incredible version with a very melodic, well-structured solo and a great SSDD!

Was not played in Rotterdam...

They actually only played it six times on this tour, with 5/25 being the only one after this. I agree, it's a great version apart from Jerry's minor lyrical flubs.

Jerry is in a very adventurous with both his riffing and the solo on this one. Great, swaggering version.

Jerry's vocals are very impassioned on this one, seemingly paying special attention to each syllable...

One of only seven times (out of 600 total plays) that they opened with PITB! This one feels much longer than its 10:33 run time — in a good way. You can tell this show has that "it" factor from the start...
