This whole show just has it. The best versions of this song are played with patience into the bridge and the backgrounds are key. This ones a clinic.

The bridge into Fire is a beauty. Jerry's lightnin' on the solos in Fire - this is a video on youtube and worth the watch. Great show, they really loved Hampton.

Sometimes Jerry sounded as if it was his first reading of this song. In a good way. Vocals are indeed strong in this version.
