A big version. Listen as the baton gets passed without missing a beat.

Not Fade Away

At once lush and succinct.
The Other One

In just under 10 minutes this one manages to cover a lot of nice territory.
Wharf Rat
April 5, 1971

This one has got a very nice ass.
Let It Grow
Sept. 19, 1990
Madison Square Garden

Crystalline and gummy, all at once. Followed up, too, by a nice transition jam into Drums.

'Foundational'--Nick Paumgarten, The New Yorker. This is one of the pillars upon which this legendary show rests.
