Was at this show. Scorching hot day. This song was the highlight. The jam into the end just lifts you off your feet. It is possibly the best final licks by Jerry right at the end. Somehow he and Bob create magic just out of nothing in a matter of seconds. I've tried to copy that last lick he does there, and just fail every time. Its pretty cool. Please listen!

Ok. This is crazy how far down the list this is. Maybe people stop scrolling. 1: middle of the set rendition 2: blistering pace with zero flaws from Jerry. This is hands down the best they have done on this song. It's incredible and has that acoustic tone as well. What a great show this was all arounf- especially the 1st set (Rain>Shakedown open). Just give a listen, it should be WAY near the top.

Amazing late rendition. You can tell from the opening few chords that the pace is just 100% perfect. Not too fast(the worst) or too slow. Crowd went nuts during some of the jams and at the end as well. This is a must have and top 5 IMO.
