Furious jamming! Jerry sure is cooking as the kids say nowadays. My friend is doing research on the Doors and the Dead played a show with them on this same date at the Fillmore later that evening. Thankfully, that led me to this gem

The whole sequence is really, really good but I find this piece of it a little sluggish after the intensity of the Dew>Playin preceding it but maybe it had to be, This second set is growing on me as a whole though

This is a rollicking freight train rendition with killer vocals from Bobby and an absolutely insane solo from Jerry at the end. Give it a rip

Silky smooth and soulful all around.
