Excellent version. Bobby brings it for the finale and the whole band thunders behind him on target throughout.

Folks, you need to hear this one. It's absolutely gorgeous. Great interplay between Jerry and Vince on the solos and the whole version oozes soul.

Obligatory, but fun nonetheless.

The first thirty seconds with Airto Moreira are blood curdling. Terrifying, trippy stuff. Handle with care.

One More Saturday Night
May 7, 1972
Bickershaw Festival

Bobby saying "Here's Mr. Garcia" when Jerry takes his solo never fails to put a smile on his voice. Bobby was on this whole show. This song was NEVER the same once it left Europe. It almost immediately became a tossed off afterthought with little to no effort. I never, ever willingly listen to post-1972 versions. But in Europe, this song is as good a rock and roll rave up as any ever done. It's up there with "Shout" and "Gimme Some Lovin'" as one of the best party rockers of all time.

Not quite as focused as 3/27/94, but Jerry brings it at the end.

Jerry's solos are great here. Some really lovely runs.

Seriously, this should not be languishing with one vote. This is a spectacularly dark, intense, driven version.

Vince really shone on "Bird Song" from 1993-95.
