Sounds more triumphant than haunting, but that's not a bad thing. Excellent soloing throughout, with the final minute being particularly great.

Carries the momentum of the H/S/F prior, leading to a fast version with some great Jerry solos.

McFarlin Auditorium, SMU

Despite the cut at the beginning and a few lyrical flubs, this is still a passionate early one, with the recent disaster of Altamont haunting it.

Fantastic one! The band sounds like they're about to combust while Pig gets the audience amped up. Great on every level.

A super friendly and uptempo version. Love the organ on this one - so soulful and fun.

A PERFECT early version, and a cornerstone of the new St. Louis box.

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

A FEROCIOUS version - this should have WAY more votes.

Vince's organ is really what makes this one for me. Great playing by him!

INCREDIBLE! This one is the cream of the crop and easily the best late-era version.
