Very crisp, smooth version. Crack open a cold one and tap your toes to this one.

Love this one. Spunky Jerry with a quirky, inventive solo and nice playing from Bruce as well.

As this show's biggest fan, I'm aghast I didn't post this lovely version. Jerry at his most charming. Bruce is in damn good form as well.

The tempo is suuuuper sluggish here....but Jerry's solo is excellent.

Great guitar playing.

That said, this version has to have the worst entry into the "Jack Straw from Wichita" finale ever. I'm not sure if Bob and / or Jerry forget the words, or if Bob, Brent, or Jerry fatally miscue the entrance, but it's a tragedy. At one point all three are singing different lyrics. Other than the rest of the song is aces.
