I loved the return of this song. This is a great version in an oustanding 1st set.

Kicks off potentially the most epic set 2, with a bouncy excellent version of the song. Forget the lyrical flubs.

Jerry's voice. Wow. This version is basically studio ready. Phil drops a few well-timed bombs. Just a sweet version all around.

This is a class A rock and roll solo for the Jer Ber in this version. Wow! '81 was tight as it gets tight.

If this version doesnt have you smiling, I dont know what to tell you. The energy from every member of the band is palpable, Brent's keys, Phil's bombs, the drummers thunder rolls, Garcias fills and Bobby's vocals with high energy screaming, comes together and makes this one a must listen to for all Heads.
