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

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

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...
