Awesome version. Listen to Jerry from the start and especially his solo (and Phil). This spring tour comes to life right here.

Jerry is very, very sharp on this. Except for the lyrics.

Bobby's playing in the jam is mindblowing. Listen to the SB.

So many reasons why this version is fucking awesome. They immediately fly into a weird place, almost like they're picking up from some previous DS. Full of incredible moments, such as the one at 8:30 where Jerry, Phil, and Bobby each play something amazing in quick succession.

Where the water tastes like wine, I swear! Great vocals by Jer, hard rocking version.

This is one of those tunes that sounded great right out of the box and this version kicks ass. Love Bobby's playing in the jam.

It's alarming when they lose the form, especially in a simple tune like this. It is interesting when they try to put the train back on the tracks though - the end here sounds like pure, desperate survival.
