HOT version, outro is a bit fast, in keeping with the entire era. But Jerry's leads are on fire, sounds straight outta 74

This is one of those songs that brent just made better and this version is exhibit A of that theory

Hot and bouncy with a unique transition -- played superbly like the rest of the show. Love fall 72 and I agree with the above reviewer who says top 3 show of 72 (hell it may even be top 2).

Yeah, this is pretty much just perfect. Perfect pace, groove, vocals. Not a huge fan of how much they slowed down the tune in 73 and for a while after. This, to me, is the definitive version. I do like what brent brought to the tune starting in 79.
