Sometimes you know a tune will be heady on the first note. The crowd seems to know it too. Killer solo.

Uptown Theatre

Ass-kicking version, beautifully sung. Notable in that every note of Bobby's slide playing is exactly in tune.

Always looking for the great middle jams in this tune. This one is long, meandering, dreamy

Pauley Pavilion

An undiscovered 01? This one has huge, crazy peaks by Jerry at 4:25 and Jerry and Bobby at 8:05. Madness, fits and starts, like any great O1.

Phil is great as the comments say but Jerry is the one who is really feeling it in the jam.

Love how Bobby climbs to the peak. Great jam after too.

Huge 20-minute version. Jerry is full of ideas and loose and free. Bobby plays a great slide riff at almost 12 minutes in.

Another third chorus in the solo and Jerry rips it up
