I'll be damned. Not here yet. Fantastic jam with Jerry following Bobby's jabs and turns. Also notable because Bobby doesn't trip over the words in Sup

Sometimes you know a tune will be heady on the first note. The crowd seems to know it too. Killer solo.

Uptown Theatre

Ass-kicking version, beautifully sung. Notable in that every note of Bobby's slide playing is exactly in tune.

Always looking for the great middle jams in this tune. This one is long, meandering, dreamy

Winterland Arena

Should be higher, like the band was this night. Monster version. Phil amazing. Love the theme Jerry gets into in the last Fire solo.

I love this long, leisurely version where you can really hear the singing and Keith. Also love the meandering jam after it into St. Stephen.

Golden Hall, Community Concourse

I love it when Jerry takes such an awesome solo that he can't sing the first part of the next verse. Raucous, fantastic version

Great version. The jam tells the story right.

Curtis Hixon Convention Hall

Tempo is too fast but Jerry's playing in the jam is sick.
