This one is just ridiculously good. Jerry's solo is fantastic, and the band is on all the way through.

Another one of those "not sure why it's" great versions. The Philly crowd singalong is great too!

Loved Brent's vocals and organ on this song. I do feel that 12/26/79 is the best ever. Over the years this song seemed to always be consistently good.

No doubts. A beautiful version and it is the best. So very heartfelt and a great transition after the 3-headed monster that starts this 2nd set. Not sure why the song wasn't included on Built to Last or why it didn't stay in the lineup. Jerry had his reasons I'm sure.
