You can hear the emotion in Jerry's voice...extremely emphatic vocals on this one

Crowd responds to this version very favoribly so much so that both Lesh and Garcia say "Thank You" after it.

Row Jimmy
May 16, 1978
Uptown Theater

Guys and Gals! Listen to this one again on one of the super quality audience recordings that circulate. This Jimmy far exceeds most Jimmy’s out there in tone, energy and emotion…I’m a BIG fan of the 3/20/77 version for guitar playing alone but this has emotive singing, playing, all the above wrapped into one. Spring 1978 was a good year for this tune and this was the last time it was played until Egypt tour…it’s like the climatic version that built up throughout the entire tour and gushed out to those fortunate enough to be at the Uptown this particular evening…

While this is good and monumental (being the first time played) I don't think it is far and away the best version. It's tightly worked out but doesn't have the "liveness" to it yet if that makes sense.

Holy Fuck! The energy in this one. Post drums...HOT DAMN! If Soundbord existed for this one it would be numero uno. Hands down...the Ken and Judy Lee version is the one to sample. MAN!!!
