Rockin' little version, keeps this underrated show going. Jerry and Keith each have a sweet little solo...

I also can't believe how few votes this has. They find such a great groove, and the whole song just sparkles... Definitely one of the best versions!

darkstar, I got my information from this blog post, which casts doubt on the deadlists entry for this date: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2010/10/mysterious-case-of-121770.html -- It ultimately uses Charlie Miller as a basis for the 10/5/70 date. Either way, this version is exquisite…

Jerry's smooth as butter here. Their pace is slower than usual for 1970, and it sounds so sweet...
