Long and ferocious version that hardly lets up for a second. One of the best moments of an underrated show.

Great rec, this version definitely kicks major ass. One of my favorite '78s.

This is the infamous "Washoe zephyr" show but they are definitely ON for this number!!! Like Keith's piano work going into the jam and Garcia is just burning as brightly as that headlight...
