I love long, jammed out versions of this song, and it's worth hearing a shorter one to remind yourself of how beautiful the song is.

Nice show from what I've heard of it, and this one has great energy.

Nice version, with some emotive singing from Bob and Hornsby's accordion support.

Even the rockers have a bit extra, and this one > into "Johnny B. Goode."

Hot damn. Listen to the AUD so you can hear the crowd eating it up. The band peaks multiple times.

I love his tone from this period on (using more/different echo/chorus effects? Little help here?). And sweet accompaniment all riffs at the end, nice spot!

Outstanding version. Won't be surprised when this moves higher up the list.

The guitar playing is unreal, and don't let it overshadow an emotive performance of the ballad portion of the song.
