This is an incredible, unique, fast-paced version. Bob's singing is superb and Phil's bass playing is lickety-split in the best possible way.

Great version--may contain Jerry's most piercing MABM solo!
One More Saturday Night
Nov. 7, 1971
Harding Theatre

Most exciting version I've heard. Ferocious even!
Uncle John's Band
May 15, 1970
Fillmore East (Late Show)

Can't add much to what Mikeynels said: this is the most beautiful, camp-fire-like UJB in existence.

Fillmore East

As the others have said, a truly stunning performance.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
April 15, 1970
Winterland Arena

An average 1970 China Cat (meaning terrific)--but an extraordinary Rider: where it usually provides a gentle release after the characteristically spiky CCR, this one is presented as spiky and rocking. Most unusual and powerful.
