My favorite stand-alone version. This one absolutely rocks.

Great work from Bruce and Vince. Not the flashiest for Jerry, but he's still good here.

How did this one not make it up? This a full steam ahead rock and roll explosion that never lets up.

This one of the most underrated shows of their best year. This is a gorgeous "SOF" with a gold standard Jerry solo.

This should be way higher. It might well be the best of the whole decade. Incendiary version.

Really great NYC version. Also, strangely, the first since May of that year.

This may be my new favorite version. Jerry puts everything he's got into it. Really soulful performance in the middle of a first set that thrills relentlessly.

I.....I....I can't believe I am upvoting a version of this song. There's an undeniable energy to this one, and Jerry plays some really interesting and creative stuff that deserves a better home than this dumpster fire of a song.
