This version soars thanks to Keith's dynamic piano work. You'd never know they'd only been playing JS for a month...great one.

Check out the cool China Cat jam leading into GDTRFB! Some pristine versions of NFA>GDTRFB from the Fall '71 tour - this one's no exception.

Closes a fantastic post-drums-space sequence. Just an all-around good one that benefits from the incredible momentum beforehand.

Charged up with energy coming out of the hot Alabama opener. They really go after this one, and makes it stand out. Great stuff!

Loads of fun! Like versions from '79, it's an interesting hybrid version - the energy of 80's versions but minus the second solo. Still kicks, though!

FANTASTIC! How this one doesn't have more votes is beyond me.

What's even odder is that this excellent version wasn't even listed on this site when the show was announced as an official release. I couldn't believe no one had submitted it before I did!

A bot??? Really? Never thought I’d live to see the day that Heady Version would have that problem. But…here we are, I guess.

…imagine getting THIS upset at other people liking a version that you don’t like. C’mon, man. Cool it.

Nice version from a good show in an underwhelming year. A big highlight of the first set.
