Hofheinz Pavilion
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.

A very strange but rollicking version. Yes, Weir sings the headlight part (was Jerry fixing his guitar?) Also, check out Phil's lines at the beginning of CCS. Oh yeah, and even though it would be nearly a year and a half before the 'Feelin' Groovy' jam made its first appearance in the CCS-IKYR transition, you can definitely hear a little hint of it here. Thanks to CarrionCrow for the heads up on this show.
