Not my favorite song but an excellent version. Bobby rocks out.

Very peppy. I have never understood why so many dislike this song. Not their best but still fun. I prefer to hear this than Sugar Magnolia yet again. This version is definitely top notch, better than most.

@snagglepuss. Cracking me up. I agree that this is a better show. One of my favorites. This, Englishtown, Swing, Buffalo War Memorial .... I love Cornell too but this is better. Whichever way you see it, these shows all rock. Thank God I can listen to them all and don’t have to choose only one. One of my friends said Veneta is the best, I need to go kick his ass.

This is the point in the show where the insanity that is the second set first seems to be a possibility. Amazing.

Incredible version. Only downside is the available recording cuts from the sbd to an aud for a period of this song and kills the momentum. Still, as good as it gets. The sbd for this is amazing, but if no other reason than this cut, I would like to see it as an official release. Released! The cut is still there but barely noticeable and the levels following are plangentized (sp?). also, it cuts into the sbd and not an aud. This deserves more votes, super fun.

Very slick, fun and mellow version. Definitely heavy on Allman Brothers, but better than half or more of the versions above it. Nothing compares to Englishtown but this is one of the more fun ones. Sit outside on a hot summer day, play this RFK show and relax. Tell me this doesn’t rock.
