This one floats. Great sound for the early Jack Straw, I dig it.

Uncle John's Band

Parc des Expositions

Awesome version, but just don't think it deserves the #1 spot here...IMO 12/26/79 and 9/27/72 are better and have more energy than this one...No hate here though! this one is killlleerrrrr

What a ride. Can't even begin to contemplate what it would be like watching the boys play this live.

Longest version ever? Not gonna lie, when this song stretches over 10 minutes I usually think it is drawn out and too slow, but this one is just wonderful and the jamming is top notch. Really do love all fifteen minutes of this.
