Nice slower tempo, and that vintage 1970 Jerry tone..

Rainbow Theatre

Much like 9/12/81, this show would greatly benefit from a clean SBD source, but the audience recording available is crisp and clear. Phenomenal show!

This one has some serious muscle and swagger

I usually prefer versions without the Feelin’ Groovy jam, but this one is extra groovy

First time played, and although it’s only 7 minutes long, it’s rather enjoyable. I prefer the Todd Evans aud source to the DP version

Gained an even deeper appreciation for this version after listening to the Menke AUD. The second solo is transcendent, ethereal, majestic..
