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

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

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.

Should be higher, like the band was this night. Monster version. Phil amazing. Love the theme Jerry gets into in the last Fire solo.

I love this long, leisurely version where you can really hear the singing and Keith. Also love the meandering jam after it into St. Stephen.

I love it when Jerry takes such an awesome solo that he can't sing the first part of the next verse. Raucous, fantastic version

Great version. The jam tells the story right.
