Overall this show isn't a standout, but I love me some nice space. Also dig the "Dark Star" teases at the end!

Worth it to hear what Bobby does to sweet Jane... you'll know it when you hear it. Worth a giggle.

Jerry plays some nice angular lines (ex. first solo), and this features a decent vocal performance.

Everything from this night is well above average. And listen to Keith!

Incredible version on its own, and for the transition to "Franklin's."

The groove they hit in the middle of that is unreal.

IMHO, I prefer this one to the two May versions listed above, and the Franklin's is just jubilant. The transitions around and between these tunes are incredible as well.
