Jerry works very hard to put this one over the top. Check out his last solo

They almost never got this song right, so it's no wonder they stopped playing it. This time they did. Bobby doesn't oversing, drummers are on it.

An intense, raucous version. Great vox by Bobby

Jerry and Bobby Space, uncharacteristically grounded and coherent, leading into the best St. Stephen of the '83 revival

So cool that they go into a loose jam out of this tune. Bobby is def playing Wang Dang Doodle.

It's super weird that Jerry is playing the riff in the wrong key here. It gives to tune an otherworldly feel that's kind of cool, but weird.

This tune is so perfect for Keith. He sounds great, as does Bobby. Love that he's so high in the mix in this SB.
