Like the night before, a great version from a legendary show that I'm surprised wasn't already here...

Shocked this wasn't here already...gorgeous version from a legendary show, about two weeks before they recorded the studio version.

A few slight lyrical flubs by Bobby, but otherwise a very nice version.

Some priceless banter from Bob before they launch into this one. Starts you off with a smile...as if Tennessee Jed doesn't always put one there anyway :)

Jerry gets pretty into the vocals towards the end compared to other '72 versions...

Yes, Sooty -- they play the second verse 3/23 New York and 5/4 Paris! Jerry sounds like he wants to play it in Dusseldorf, but Bob overrules him and they slip into a great Wharf Rat.

Excellent, extended (for '72) outro and a great version overall.
