Phil wrote the song, and this is the version that he chose for the Fallout From the Phil Zone album, so...

Hot day in Philly, so the Dead bust out this New Orleans classic.

Comments

The Other One
May 15, 1970
Fillmore East (Late Show)

Easy mistake to make, especially given the confusing way Road Trips 3.3 was structured, but the That's It For the Other One->Cosmic Charlie is actually from the 5/15 early show, not late.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
April 1, 1990
The Omni

Short but very tight, and oh so rocking.
Jack Straw
Aug. 27, 1972
Old Renaissance Faire Grounds

The little slide guitar lick that intros the song is just exactly perfect.
El Paso
May 8, 1977
Barton Hall - Cornell University

Has the distinction of being the least heady'ed song from 5/8/77. But during dotcom this song used to get stuck in my head all the time from listening to this show, so I'm adding a vote.
Caution
Dec. 12, 1969
Thelma Theater

Ordered a copy of Dave's Picks 10 this morning when it was announced. Stoked to hear this!
