definitely my favorite, there's a rawness to electric renditions of songs they were also playing in acoustic sets around this time that always gets me

always loved the 4/16/78 for the slinky groove that they're luxuriating in and this is at least as good. they were feeling iko this week!

Great Jerry intro slinking the song together out of nothing. Pigpen misses his cue for the first verse which could have been perfect but the blowup when everyone comes in for the harmonica break makes up for it. Great greasy version, the ones from 72 are almost uptight by comparison
