Good version sandwiched between HCS and the big jam suite...

Seems like this show needs more love around here...a few high vote-getters, but the whole thing rocks

Couldn't agree more with the previous comments -- as a drummer myself, I much prefer the one drummer era. There was much greater variety of tempos, especially compared to the post-hiatus era. They were also able to change directions much more swiftly when it was just Billy. Having said that, the two drummers thing doesn't bother me on the songs that entered the repertoire post-hiatus, but it does on songs from '71-'74 when played post-hiatus (e.g. plodding versions of "Bertha," "They Love Each Other").

Sounds like Jerry wasn't done soloing when Donna started the "wind in the willows" verse...awesome early version regardless.

Very well sung by Jerry and a tasty little solo.
