Heard this for the first time recently. It might not be as put together as later versions, but it is a clean version with lots of cool improvs. Sounds almost like a studio outtake. An instant fav for me.

I love the vocal jam from this one. It really could have gone forever if I was making the decisions.

Pauley Pavilion - University of California

They were on fire no doubt! The transition jam has many unique phrases, and is one of the best ever done for sure. This needs to be much, much higher up on the list.
