This is a damn good version. Nice solo and I love Jer's ragged voice on this tune.

Interesting version. Jerry takes a nice chill solo and then later, he plays some of the same slide riffs he played from the epic S>F the night before

Clearly MSG brought the best out of Jerry. This has one of the longest outro jams that I can find.

What a trip, but this is one song that the difference between a 70's version and 80's version is such a huge gap. Still must have been awesome to see, though. Here it has the 6th best ranking of all time...lol.

Still think 2/13>5/2, but this is a beast!

Spot on! Great lengthy mid jam that is super hot and then nail the Jack Straw from Wichita.....This version could easily be top 5 for these reasons.
