Polo Field, Golden Gate Park

Probably a "misdated" Dew, but no matter; this early version is as emotive as it gets

I usually prefer the China>Rider combo but this is a must hear version; Jerry really pours on the HEAT between the verses!!

Unbelievable Playin' on this Playin', they fly thru at least a hundred different changes at supersonic speed. Billy is absolutely on Fire!!!

Though there are many GSETs with St. Steven quotes, this is the only one I know with a full-bore jam of the theme. Kick-ass version!

Agree for sure...Keith has some seriously hot licks here and is really throwing his weight around!!

Another amazing version in a run of outstanding Playin's. Jer and Phil are dominating!
