Surprised to not see this on here yet. Great, soulful playing all around, with some funny banter and a Beer Barrel Polka afterwards.

Excellent version. Lots of good ones from 74, e.g. Alexandra Palace in London. This one deserves to be higher though. Jerry really belts it, and the whole song is drenched in that Wall of Sound goodness, if you're a sucker for that sound like I am.

Would definitely put this higher up. No knock on the better-rated versions, but if you like phil bombs/vocals this one is gold. Plus the transition is butter, and Jerry kills the headlight section. 10/10.

Agree with all that's been said about this amazing version. Just want to add how much I think Bill Graham's intro does on top of the trio itself...what a spine tingling buildup!
