Punchy with some heat. Pigs tone on the pipe organ(?) or electric piano makes this special too. Source:CM

Bob's slide work is CLEAN and on point and Jerry is in a frisky mood this night. Brent's B3 is hummin' - this version peels paint.

Jerry sprays the fire with a kerosene hose on the final jam. I feel he made up for missing the middle jam tempo shift where he got ahead of himself and blazed by the buildup before the drop. A sbd of this would launch it up the standings at least for '80's renditions.
