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!

I will take a Dew after space any day of the week and twice on the weekends. This one delivers!

It gets a vote for the famous sing along. But also credit this version as holding it's own as one of the best.

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Stadium

One of my favorite sequences. Slipknot!-> Franklin's->OMSN, E: U.S. Blues. Such a rocking encore, definitely one of the best ever.

Boston Garden

Agreed it is also one of my favorite ever Jams. US Blues seemed to work well out of space and long jams.

The video is must see. This US Blues is as amped as it could possibly be.
