Here's how great this one is: I had to listen to it twice and I still can't figure out what makes it great. But it is.

Everyone sounds great on this outrageous version. Check out Brent's vocals and playing, as well as Bobby's playing. Burning.

Weird raggedy version with some amazing Jerry moments. Also love the guy who yells when Phil comes in on the intro.

Jerry's playing in the jam is fantastic.

Springfield Civic Center Arena

Should be higher. I don't think I've heard a better version. Phil is insane.

Amazing version. The best 70s versions have an airy, elastic quality, with Jerry sounding like a shower of sparks. His solo and playing in the jam are awesome.

I love what Jerry plays from 9:10-9:20
