Not just high-energy but a little manic and dangerous. Listen for some sneaky fills by Keith.

Mid-song jamming breaks are unusually long. Lovely and relaxed.

Just keeps going and going! Jerry tears this one up! Insane, really. And... it's back on Archive as of April 2015. :-)

Jerry just burns this sucker to the ground. Wowee zowee.
Playin' In The Band
May 26, 1972
Strand Lyceum

Lots more "Main Ten" jamming than most later versions would have. Gives this one a different, more understated feel than some of the pure delirium versions. That may be good or bad depending on your perspective, but this is certainly a great version.

The Spectrum

Just incredible. Captures the essence of the song perfectly.
