Sneaky, searching solo is worth a listen.

Jerry and Bobby are great here. Burning.

Easily the best version of this song I've ever heard. Listen to how Jerry sings!

If shows with great sounding SBs are overrated, the opposite is true. Jerry is burning this night and his solo here is spectacular.

The intro has a Dark Star vibe. Great version.

Fantastic, raucous version. Great solo. Great slide playing by Bobby (you heard me right).

Heavy, intense version. Listen to Phil as well as Jerry in the jam.

Jerry gives it all in the solo. Had to listen to it twice. Even the parts that don't sound good sound great when you listen again.

Weird raggedy version with some amazing Jerry moments. Also love the guy who yells when Phil comes in on the intro.
