Nice transition from the drums. Good energy and firm attitude towards the song. Crowd enjoying it very much. Nice fading at the end.

An early short version, coming in at about 7 minutes, but the jam is intense and wonderful.

Jerry's runs are great and Phil and Bobby both show passion.

I wanna' give this one a little love. Phil is cranking all over. A little faster paced than most. Jerry warming up nicely. A good Brent version.

The post jam and then a seamless transition to the TOO. Goodness this band is good.

A band paying attention, listening to each other and making the sound. What a gem this one is.

I wouldn't call this a ripper, but it's very good, yet still maintaining a mellow tone with intensity where needed, including a nice build towards the finish. Best post early '70's version that I know of.
