Jerry just launches into the jam and then rock star Bobby comes out. Great energy all the way through.

Jerry's just belting it out and the playing is so powerful. Can't believe it's not already on here.

So many great versions of songs from this show. Gotta be one of the top 80's shows.

Have always loved this version, starting from being at the show, to getting the tapes/cds up to the release of Truckin Up To Buffalo. Definitely brought some of the JGB energy over. Pushing for #1!!

The jam is pretty tasty but I think 7/4 is just tighter from start to finish. And Jerry's voice is in a little better shape too, being earlier in the tour.

I got chills watching the movie, remembering the breeze. There wasn't a whiff of one all day, but Brent brought it. Great version. Pigpen-esque with the stop.

Not a monster version like some before and after, but just a nice tight piece of music. Simple, yet moments of pure bliss in the middle. This was the first tape I ever had, and it never fell far in the rotation.
