SHOCKED this one wasn't mentioned yet. Even with the crushing cut out in the SBDs, this version still stands at the top

Very hot, tight jam segment. Song has the best lyric ever written: "Let your life proceed by it's own design"

By all accounts, this is a rather goofy song, but i love this version. Entire show is spot on

Nice rolling, patient, mellow version. Just flows along. I dig

Filthy, filthy blues licks. Dig this track a lot - not sure why it never made it into rotation. Like a slower tempo Mr. Charlie

Rubber Bowl - University of Akron

Odd heaviness to the rhythm guitar and Dylan vocals. Jerry hits a nice solo though. Interesting to hear as an anomaly, if anything

Not super clean, but definitely fun! I always loved this as a Jerry tune - great to see it was played by the boys. Encore slot is perfect placement

Flawless version. This got a lot of spins in the nono household this weekend. Jerry is ON for this one
