Amazing that this one isn't here. Keith's first show, Pigpen absent.

Keith really adds some intensity. Do you know where your train is at 2am?

I can't believe this one isn't here. Short but very sweet.

I don't think I've heard a better performance by Donna; she is excellent here. And Keith! What a night he is having.

You know what? At about this point in the show, I was thinking: Keith owns it. His level of creativity here is inspiring his fellow players throughout the concert. And on this, Donna is quite good.

At one point I thought about the Stones. It has that sort of feel. Not usually that keen on this song, but I like this one.

As fine as this version is, I think Dekalb surpasses it for its tender emotional treatment from Jerry. From its very start, Jerry is providing the ultimate soundscape worthy of the song. Both of these versions are vocally superb.
