Perfect full band gelling in a dramatic end jam portion, leading effortlessly into China > Rider

Greatest Story Ever Told

Giants Stadium

Why the dead chose to neuter the peak jam inherent in early incarnations of this song is one of the most perplexing mysteries ever. This is crisp tho

This hit me perfectly. Well paced, lyrically nailed the poignancy, peak was driven. Nice late-era Peter

I was surprised to look back and see how relatively short this version was, because it had wonderful pace and the punch was ferocious.

I have a huge heart for 89/90 era Knockin's, most especially for Jerry's perfect, blissful ambient tone. This one slays exactly as it should

This one SLAPS. Jerry is lightening quick and deadly accurate. Superb

Jed is far from my song, but spun this back for the ann’y and oooof, shit, this one SLAPS. Big Jerry energy... crisp, tight heater

Gorgeous, with an amazing swell at the end and a flawless transition into a monster TOO. Top shelf

Holy f*ck!! Phil hits an absolute moonshot with this. Completely takes over and guides the band into a purely blissful jam
Good Morning Little Schoolgirl

Shrine Auditorium

I love the pacing in this. No rush, band is patient and offering turns for each other to shine. Always been a top version, personally. Dusted off again today and still a sweet moseying bluesy dander. Love it
