Usually a bit of a throwaway for me, but this one was lyrically enthusiastic with tight playing

Tight, bright version. A great yin to the Stranger yang opener

Blistering, full band energy. Crunchy Brent, fiery Jerry soloing - Bobby notes pre-song, this is the "drummer's choice" - Version cranks

Some real bouncy blues and sharp Garcia licks. This one is fantastic

Hartford Civic Center

On paper, this first set gets a "meh" and a shrug, but I cannot stop listening to it on the latest Dave's. Every song is given the proper treatment and the boys are ON. This song, one I never gave any real attention to, is played with power and joy. Now I wish they played it more often - has the bounce similar to "Might as Well" - I def dig it
