I am one in the minority that wished it stayed in the lineup. I have always considered 10/25 and 10/28 - 1 and 2.

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.
