Jerry sings it with heart, Donna isn't too overboard and a nice backbeat with a Chuck Berry kind of feel. I don't even think it's close on this one.

The Palladium

29 minutes of bliss from the most underrated run of shows in the year.
Spanish Jam
Jan. 17, 1968
Carousel Ballroom

Hard to believe how intricate and developed this is for an early version, there must have been something special in the water...or whatever that evening.
Born Cross Eyed

Eureka Municipal Auditorium

The Clementine that precedes this is just as trippy ,jazzy hot !
Eyes Of The World
July 31, 1974
Dillon Stadium

One of those songs where I'd be hesitant to even list top 5 as there are so many great ones but this is sweet,tight jazzy and has killer Phil bombs to boot!
