Fast. Fast. Fast. Cokey version seems like it's playing in fast forward. '84 is so unique and magical/dreamy sometimes.

Not a big fan of this song usually, but this one's hot. On the 4th of july, short, sweet, everybody's into it. Comin' out of The Wheel and into UJB.

Nice one, rising out of a cool Playin' and getting it's own groove on. Featured on Go to Nassau.

Tight version. Surprised it's not on here, like the rest of this sweet show (my new sleeper favorite, along with 5/13, 4/11)...dig that organ.

Yes! That energy at the end, just builds and builds. Fun times, great show! Love me some wild and wooly '78!

Also a big fan of the slowed-down versions. I agree...what a first set! Wow!

Jerry really slows it down on this one...and it's sublime. Love what everyone is doing behind him too. Very beautfiul, underrated version coming out of The Other One and into Playin' reprise.

Love this version. Especially Keith, switching over to what sounds like a Fender Rhodes. These '74-'76 pre-Fire Scarlets are really doing it for me.
