A Homo erectus-like version but notable for Jerry's solo after the first Rio Grandee chorus.

Jerry impassioned yet subdued singing in that ragged and worn voice is deeply affecting.

Just heard this for the first time and I want to go back for more! Out of curiosity, how is the sound on the official release?

Liked this one as soon as I saw it, Phil just crushes it at the end.

Never sounds the same twice.

Love that little jam of 'The Wheel' in this one.
