A little extra mustard on this one.

Uniquely satisfying. Bob and Keith lock into a mind-meld that leads Jerry in some interesting directions.

Unique, trippy energy on the intro. Mellow vibes throughout.

Tight, inspired, and full of ideas. A stand-out version from a stand-out show.

Tight, hard-driving, and full of energy. A great rave up after some thoughtful somber passages before.

This is pretty much a perfect reading of the song's original arrangement, before it became a set closing shred fest.

I'm a simple man: I hear a 1973 Here Comes Sunshine, I upvote it on HeadyVersion.

Never quite understood the decision to play this as anything other than a set/show closer, but this performance is incredibly tight and heartfelt.

Fox Theater

It may be about 10 minutes shorter than some of the year's headier expeditions, but every single piece of this jam is tight and purposeful. Stunning music.
