I've always thought 76 the peak year for this tune and am suprised this one hasn't been offered up yet.

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.

29 minutes of bliss from the most underrated run of shows in the year.

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.

The Clementine that precedes this is just as trippy ,jazzy hot !

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!
