Man does this version have a good bounce to it. I would put this version up against any version from the 80's.

This version doesn't quit. Jerry's solo is relentless

Great swing to this version. Excellent Brent and Jerry solos. A gem of a show from an odd tour.

Worth a listen for the uniqueness of the jam out of China Cat. A really playful and jazzy take on the China Cat outro.

Play this one loud. This version is triumphant. Excellent energy and a cool little jam into drums.

Hot and Fiery version. Great opener to the Giants Stadium Box Set. Sounds great!

I wouldn't really call this version "peppy". Take a look at any version from '77 if you want peppy. I'd call this one "lethargic".
