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."

I agree with the comments on Set II. I was a long time fan of the "NFA" from Barton Hall, but this might top it...

Would love an AUD or matrix of this...

Listened to this on NYE. Dimly remember some sweet major-chord jamming, something that got dark, some electronic jamming that scared me (maybe the trippiest thing I've ever heard), and coming out of it through the "Eyes" and "China Doll. Powerful stuff.

Wow, nice version. Just streamed part of the show before and after this, and I'm going to need to revisit this in a serious way. Heard there's a top-notch matrix of this, working on the download now... (edit) This is a superior version. Doesn't lose its place or get self-indulgent.
