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

Check out the really groovy pre-drums jam that comes out of this UJB.

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

Thanks for saying it canuckbot. I was feeling like I was the only one being totally underwhelmed by this version.

Comes crashing down to some delicate Jerry licks then drifts sweetly to an awesome Terrapin.

Love the unusual placement as the pre-drums jam instead of being a first set closer.

Nice meat in a PITB sandwhich.

Excellent version that is energetically jammed. Includes a really nice Ship of Fools sandwiched in-between. The segues into and out of are perfect.
