I've yet to hear a '72 version that doesn't kick at least some degree of ass, and this is no exception...

Phil is nice and bouncy on this one. The whole first set is one of the best examples of that "hot mellow" thing they had going on in '73...

Very nice one, and yes, a nice country vibe. Probably my favourite outside of the 9/17/70 Fillmore East version.

Too bad they didn't play this more often...I guess it just makes this one that much more special!

A few verses are omitted, which is too bad, because it's a killer version.
