This song seemed to bring out the best in Jerry's singing in the final years. This version's no different. And the guitar solo's lovely too.

Jerry giving it some fiery filigree, rhythm section cookin' and Brent adding sweet colour.

I'm probably in the minority but I much prefer the electric stuff from this show. This has got such a lazy, loping groove with everyone feeling it.

Band feeds off the crowd. Lovely keys on this and a full-on vocal from Garcia, despite a couple of very minor flubs.

I know it's a cliché but I genuinely was surprised not to find this take here already. Everyone's on it. Dreamy but exact.

Deserves to be higher, I think. Sweet jazz groove that motors along nicely.

Cookin' rhythm section full of dirty funk and Pigpen in fine voice.

I love how Garcia punctuates the 'Wait and see' bits at the end with those lovely little stinging licks.
