Great slow tempo, Brent fully integrated, and Jerry does his thing at the end; why isn't this on here!?!

I've waded through a lot of Cassidys that weren't nearly as good. This one deserves to be on the list. Listen and vote it up the line if you agree!

extremely slow, psychedelic jam; can't believe this one wasn't listed yet!

Yeah, I've never heard another version where he goes *up there* like that during that first break; it always struck me as such a singular version

Also, Phil dropping big fatties; takes Jer forever to get there, but there are those few seconds of heavenly bliss, in the middle solo and again at the end; worth the wait and the journey

Holy crap heard this one on Sirius yesterday; it def needs a vote; surprised to find it so low on here; Jerry's solo is next-level raunchy, bent-note perfection, and it's a great show overall

Yes, extremely slow; yes amazing at the end; it deserves its place among the all-time Altheas for sure. I voted it up so now it's equal (I believe) with the one I posted from 12 11 79, so take a listen to that one; completely different, but extremely psychedelic, Phil out of control, and some really memorable phrasing from Jerry

I'll pump it up to 11 votes. Agree with all the comments here. It has all the nooks and crannies, and a great peak at the end
