Worthy, discursive version from an amazing month.

Jerry just attacks this one (vocally too) right from the outset. I love summer '89.

As focused and energetic as the rest of the show, Jerry plays with the phrasing of his solos without missing a beat.

Another noteworthy '77 version. Listen for Jerry's melodic lines over Bob and Donna's vocal coda.

As clean and polished a version as I've heard, from any era.

Not my favorite song, but there's something pretty special about this crisp and confident version. Nice!

Memorial Coliseum

Just incredible. This very creative, spontaneous version has any energy of its own.

Memorial Coliseum

Feisty version from a feisty show. Tuscaloosa is the fall '77-type show of spring '77.

The Omni

A very strong, well-jammed version for the era.
