Fast and tight! No fooling around. Great vocals. Drums, bass, guitars, and Keith's piano are in the pocket.

Jerry's singing is top notch. Tight early version. Guitars and bass straight ahead.

Good singing. Straight ahead performance, no elaboration. Essence of the song. Part of a classic sandwich on a classic night. Best? Don't really care.

Jerry's touch on this one is sublime, and Bobby and crew are right there with him. Great Betty board and Charlie Miller treatment too.

This version rips, rips, rips! Great SBD with the Charlie Miller touch now available for the Academy of Music shows. Check it out.

The solo is fantastic. Epitome of the 1978 sound. All top notch. Love Jerry's sound.

This version of this song at this show has convinced this 1970's head of the merits of 1980's Dead. Jerry's voice, broken, healed, broken. Jerry's and Bob's guitars. Brent's fills. The two drummers playing totally separately, each additive. The build, release, emotion, the outro. The only complaint is that of course the band does a typical, rough, segue into Around and Around at the end, the complaint being that this performance of this song was so perfect, it warranted respectful silence upon completion.
