I love long, jammed out versions of this song, and it's worth hearing a shorter one to remind yourself of how beautiful the song is.

Nice show from what I've heard of it, and this one has great energy.

Nice version, with some emotive singing from Bob and Hornsby's accordion support.

Even the rockers have a bit extra, and this one > into "Johnny B. Goode."

YMMV, but I disagree. There's a lot of stuff out there, and I find it just as valuable to read what people don't like as what they do. Plus, there's practically no lucid music criticism for this scene (read Relix or JamBase lately?). I like seeing (detailed) reasons why someone doesn't like something, especially something highly rated.

I'm a big Jerry fan as well, and this version is worth hearing if only for the liquid run at end.
