beautiful reading of this song. Jerry forgets some words, and makes up for it with some expressive singing in the following line.

This song usually gets under my skin, but when it's working like it's supposed to (Bobby's on, set list placement, etc.), I get it.

Short, sweet, > Rider (!). Fitting show to close (what becomes) the Days Between.

I know it's almost meaningless because it's said so often, but Jerry hits a deep vein of musical and lyrical inventiveness during this month, and this is another great example.

Poignant lead by Jerry, but I've always loved Phil's lick before the first verse. If you love some melodic bass playing, check it out.

Smokin version!

You can just hear the cocaine in the increasingly extended vamps. If you want to hear where the early version of this song became the later one, I'd include this.

Whew, this is smokin!
