Jerry's in primal Viola Lee mode more than per country twang.

Selland Arena

What an ending jam. Jerry improvises astonishing structures with ease and fluency. The others are right there with him.

Blazing version of this wild song. Lots of fun.

Jerry's solo is so articulate -- immaculately constructed. Some very fine stuff.

Just incredible. Captures the essence of the song perfectly.

Iowa State Fairgrounds

At one point, the transition jam threatens to go "type II," to borrow the Phish term. Thrilling!

RFK Stadium

Absolutely gorgeous.
Good Lovin'
May 25, 1972
Strand Lyceum

A very exploratory Good Lovin', even by the standards of Europe '72. Like a laid-back Playin' in parts.
Dark Star
Dec. 31, 1990
Coliseum Arena

Do not overlook this version. Equals or surpasses the other versions from '89-'91. Incredible molten jam.
