A rockin' reprise out of a haunting "China Doll."

I...can't believe I'm submitting this...but Jerry lays down a very good solo worth hearing once.

Torched rendition. 5/26 gets all the attention but 5/27 is pretty fucking excellent as well.

Jerry modifies the intro and delivers a riveting solo later on.

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.
