Scorching version of a typically mellow tune. Crowd energy is palpable. Althea with a freight train feel.

Be patient on this one.....it really gets rolling. Great example of the band really listening to each other. Fantastic interplay.

Completely agree. Smokin hot start to a pretty damn good '79 show. Tiger was only 5 days old. You can hear Jerry testing the waters.

Portland Memorial Coliseum

A favorite. Very soulful and thoughtful version. Listen for the guy in the crowd during a pause in the middle - "Sing it brother!" Awesome.

This one has been a favorite of mine for years. Tear drop notes.
