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.

^...nice choices beatboy! those guys all had a real "walkin' the bar" soulful and raunchy sound that would go great with some Pig! I'd add to that Jimmy Forrest, Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis, Willis "Gator Jackson...

every time i hear this show it's better and better; goes from really good to great to exceptional, not the least of the reasons being the strength of the "smaller" songs (this one, you win again, greatest story, looks like rain, etc.)- also the killer jams (especially that truckin'!)

I love when Jerry really gets into his vocals. So much fun.

Why so low? Perfect, intense, passionate version from an amazing second set and phenomenal show!
