Jerry knocks the solo right into the French countryside. Billy has some nice fills and the quality is pristine! One of 71s best shows

Super tight post verse jam here. Surprisingly unlisted, considering it was just released as part of the Giants Stadium Box set

Cannot believe this one is not listed! Man this one rips, such a better solo and all around playing than so many versions already listed!

Everyone's in fine form! Billy and Pigpen sharing a mind for a few minutes here! Right up there with the best of em, no doubt

Awesome Dew. They are definitely enjoying themselves. Many peaks and valleys in this one. Supremely underrated show here, played to a village of about 300 people in the French countryside, what a moment

Inspired jamming during the peak of the jam. Super underrated show, that will change with the box set release

This version is head and shoulders above Cornell. Jerry's solo makes time stand still, and he gets great support throughout the entire song, especially from the devils. Punctual kicks that give this version a particular twang to it. Top 5 Loser in my book
