Jerry slays this laid-back (yet still kickin') version. Sweet stuff here, into a strong Big River.

Are there better versions out there? Undoubtedly! But this is still worthy of an entry. Some nice, tinkling piano.

Fillmore East (Late Show)

Almost 50 years old, and sounds as fresh, lively, tight and exciting as anything being played today. Thank god for such amazing recordings of such amazing performances.
St. Stephen

Fillmore East (Late Show)

It's as if they each took a separate bus out of the station for the Dark Star that precedes this, all just OUT THERE, doing their own magnificent thing, before getting called back to the station in time to fire off a tight, tight St. Stephen together. Goodness.

"Best BAM in any Birdsong" Ok, that got me. I actually laughed out loud. Nice, nice version.
