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.

It's really not till the last 5 minutes of the song that you get anything that resembles "crashy noise". This is one that needs full attention though as there is so much going on here. It is certainly not a version you can play in the background during a party. I really do love this version though.

This version is fantastic! It really deserves more love. It's up there with all the other wonderful and highly regarded renditions from '74.

Set aside the cheesy Vince synth sound, this version is really solid and worth the listen for those that enjoy the song.

I agree, this is ridiculously good. I'd put it up against any version from the 80's or 90's.

Really cool Drums > Space segment. Certainly worth a listen. Drums includes Ollin Arageed and the Space has some outstanding Jerry noodling.
