The jazzy '76 feel brings out the polka in the song a bit more than in other years.

During Alligator, post-drums. One of the most discernible, helps that show was recorded on multi-track.

I think I prefer this version to the one that was included on "Postcards From the Hanging." Jerry adds some awesome backing vocals on the last lines of the later verses. Except, ugh, this is actually from 7/19/89.
