From Cincinnati `76 & also apparently on of the rare times this rocker was used to close a set! Also the pick of the day for 11~9~23 Dead days

Jerryz intro is extra sweet on this version and he's on point throughout. A fine pre coma Jerry while Bobby is off at times lyrically. Still Heady!

A particularly nice early years Brent version from winter 1979 tour. Jerry's guitar gently weeps wonderfully throughout. Latest pick from Dave~47

It’s all about that Phil Zone in Philly! Usually I loathe this song but with this especially heavy bass rendition, following a damn good version of and in the same theme Me and My Uncle (they transition >>> smoothly excellent) ….fuhgeddaboudit!

Personally I dig this one from the moment Keith and Jerry start trading licks on the first instrumental. Fiesta~valley fantastical! Odelay!
