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

This is actually a really great version, it should be much higher. It swings and the vocals are solid. I really like Jerry's solo at around 2:30 and love Phil after around 5:00. I think the best version on the archive is the one mis-labeled as 12/17/70, found here: https://archive.org/details/gd1970-12-17.sbd.unk.87356.sbeok.flac16
