Long and ferocious version that hardly lets up for a second. One of the best moments of an underrated show.

P.N.E. Coliseum

Very fine version, but try 9/18/74 for a best-of-the-year contender.
The Music Never Stopped
March 5, 1981
Stanley Theater

Sort of a sloppy version, but they more than make up for it with an insanely ferocious jam with multiple Jerry peaks. Overall, this is one of the best I've heard.
