Absolutely incredible. First time hearing this version and “ran” straight here. The serene moments in this version are just something else. Love the transition into Sugar.

One of the rare times(from any rock band) that a straightforward and “subdued”live version is one of the all time best versions of a song. If not the best. Jerry’s playing, Bobby’s singing. Spot on and beautiful. The sound of two people hearing each other. If that makes sense.

I just wrote my notes for this performance and said “gotta be one of the very best and a Headyversion”. Sure enough….

FANTASTIC. Finally grabbed DP15. Hearing this version for the first time. Having found my way to Jerry and Co just 6 years ago, I’ve had some catching up to do. Heard many versions of this(a favorite), and this is indeed the best yet.

Listening as we speak. Gorgeous. Love Jerry’s soulful singing.
