Big energy, a good Jerry solo, no lyrical flubs, and transitions into a hot Mexicali Blues. What else could you ask for?

Dupree's Diamond Blues

Madison Square Garden

Is there a single version of Dupree's that DOESN'T put a smile on your face? This one's a ton of fun, and a big highlight of an under-appreciated show

Brent's piano is a major factor in this hot version. Tempo is just exactly perfect.

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.

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.
