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 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.

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!
