O'Keefe Center

Whoa. Can't believe this isn't listed. Possibly Jerry's finest ever performance on this song - 20+ minutes of RAW POWER

Curtis Hixon Convention Hall

This one's got some boogy. Keith gives Jer a big kick in the butt during the 2nd jam and they just take off!

Pauley Pavilion - University of California

Indeed a wonderful version, one of my favorites of the year in fact.

P.N.E. Coliseum

Very fine version, but try 9/18/74 for a best-of-the-year contender.
The Music Never Stopped
March 5, 1981
Stanley Theater

Sort of a sloppy version, but they more than make up for it with an insanely ferocious jam with multiple Jerry peaks. Overall, this is one of the best I've heard.

Cole Field House

Awesome extended version...pure rock 'n roll.
