Incredible stuff here. ‘81 was a fantastic year for this song, and this version is no exception. This rocks

A slinky ‘73 where the whole band is really on and the solo is great.

Cool, unique version. AUD only, it seems

Jerry nearly bursts into flames several times during this one! Look for the FM broadcast SBD on the archive. It has rougher, more energetic feel than the Dick's Picks version.

Oklahoma City Music Hall

A nearly flawless rendition. Give this one a listen, you won't be disappointed.

The AUD version is so hot it's molten. Some flubs early on but the crescendo and outro jam are spectacular. Highly recommended.

Super fast, super-charged, and totally awesome version! One time I was wide-eyed and asked my friend, "Do you wanna know what cocaine sounds like?" Then I played this song and we both totally lost it.
