Fun and thunderous, this version has some great grooves.

Clean and confident reading with lots of personality from Phil and Vince.

Keith's brief solo makes me.wish he would have led jams every now and then. A subtle yet stand-out version.

The version from two weeks later is even better, but this one still shines on its own.

Vince really shines on this one.

Any version that makes you wish it were longer is a good one, imo. Phil really drives the jam and Jerry takes the inspiration as it comes, crafting unique passages without getting stuck in noodle-y space the way he could on some later-era versions. Brent throws in a few UJB teases as well.

Brent loses track of things a couple of times, but it still sounds good. The perfect way to end a scorching first set.
