Very surprised this isn't on the list yet. Tight version, Jerry's vocal delivery and solos are top-notch. Grate vibe for a rainy or cloudy day.

Strong and the ending jam is truly hot.

Could have easily been the album version. On par.

Zoo Amphitheater

Rough with regard to Jerry’s lyric recall, but echo the sentiments towards the jam and playing overall. Post-song jam heads into Stranger-esque territory IMO.
