Give it a spin before Santa comes...Pig does Chuck Berry and Kris Kringle proud!

DP Vol. 7 in London...special hard-core ROCK&ROLL kick-ass version, as if to remind the good folks across the Pond what happened 200 years earlier.

Like every song in this vastly underrated show: Just Exactly Perfect.

Normally not a song I take much notice of...but Keith just takes over this puppy and turns it into a rollicking good time!

Sometimes shorter is better. At around 10 mins. this beauty from E'72 packs the jazz, jam, passion. Like a more intense version of the one on ACE!

Ranting & raving about this one, a hidden gem & then some. First, this might just be the most beautiful vocal they ever turned in on this tune, from Jerry’s sweet lead to the perfectly blended harmonies on the chorus sections. The playing is jazz heaven, no raging peaks a la late 70s but a flow & delicate picking clinic led by Garcia & punctuated by some of the loveliest fills I’ve ever heard Keith do on this song. The outro section features a mind-slide into the Stronger Than Dirt portion rather than the usual start on the hard beat yet they totally nail it, no clunkiness involved, it’s all meshed seamlessly. Snag the SBD 2d set on the archive & enjoy. This one’s hiding in plain sight waiting with so much to offer.

^^^^strange indeed. Great recommendation still not getting the love it deserves.

This is so much a better version than the single digits its mired in now. Brisk boppy bouncy groove and Jerry does a wah wah solo that's more fun than a barrel full of dancing bears not to mention him nailing down every dang lyric. What shame this is so low on the list. Maybe the box set'll help...meanwhile, get your ears on this gem.

Seriously hopeful that the new box set with its excellent sound clean up will launch this version higher up the board. It's really better than a number of the ones above it now on the list & that includes the Augusta '84 that I submitted as well (listen to these 2 back to back and tell me objectively after that MSG really belongs below Augusta--ya can't), and whether it's #1 all time worthy is subjective of course but having loved this version forever and a day and now hearing it in its best sound reproduction i'm more convinced than ever that it's in a class of its own.

This kind of interplay between Jer and Bob rarely happens on this tune esp. post 1974....great stuff here
