From Cincinnati `76 & also apparently on of the rare times this rocker was used to close a set! Also the pick of the day for 11~9~23 Dead days

Jerryz intro is extra sweet on this version and he's on point throughout. A fine pre coma Jerry while Bobby is off at times lyrically. Still Heady!

A particularly nice early years Brent version from winter 1979 tour. Jerry's guitar gently weeps wonderfully throughout. Latest pick from Dave~47

From Dave's 47, supercharged high energy first set opener with Brent's fingers on fire!

Road Trips! Killer Brent keys and ensuing improvisations of spectacular brilliance.

From the DownLoad Series, a nice simple post disco version that is still thick with Brent's keys and excellent harmonies with him & Jerry who's guitar delicately laces the tune together.

Brent is really hot on this one, a great version from 2022 Dead MSG big Box. Set between an upbeat Dupree's and a good Brent tune this Bobby centered song fits in real nice.
