Just the third performance, and it's an A+ banger of a country twanger. I wish they'd kept this song in the rotation.

Has that great chugging rhythm of '71 versions. Keith (per usual) is a huge factor, but Billy's drumming is just as potent here. Awesome version!

Keith made all the difference turning this into a barrelhouse powerhouse. What a tremendous performance of a fun song.

This version soars thanks to Keith's dynamic piano work. You'd never know they'd only been playing JS for a month...great one.

Check out the cool China Cat jam leading into GDTRFB! Some pristine versions of NFA>GDTRFB from the Fall '71 tour - this one's no exception.

Nice and aggressive - great version coming hot on the heels of a good rendition of The Wheel.

That’s a great way of putting it! I’ve always thought they totally nailed this song when playing it, but could never put my finger on why it was so good. The way you describe it, the magic might just be in the solo! At the very least, that’s what makes this particular version stand out.

"They don't trust me," remarks Bobby after a goofy on-stage discussion about how many bars the jam has. And yet, it's a HOT version with a great jam.
New Minglewood Blues

Civic Center
I like how Bobby catches himself here - "New Yor...uh...New England fillies." Yeah, us Heads in Maine aren't sure if Connecticut is in New York or New England either. ;D
Drums -> Space

Madison Square Garden
Miles Davis' "In a Silent Way" is quoted during the transition between Drums and Space. It's a really neat interpolation!
