Part of a one-two-punch opener, paired with a heater of a Bertha. Keith adds great texture to Jerry's solo.

Jerry's got that wah going the whole song. Some may not like it, but I LOVE the psychedelic edge it brings to this version.

It can't be said enough how well Bobby plays this show. This is basically a rhythm guitar duel with Jerry, and it kicks ass.

An early but good one. The rhythm section kills, and Jerry's solo is wah-heavy and psychedelic.

Long before this song was a 15-minute soloing showcase, Jerry put the gusto into his vocals. This one exemplifies that - the whole band sounds great!

Funky is right. This is a great slice of uptempo Smokey Robinson-esque R&B. Great early version!

It’s this high because people like it. Nothing more complicated than that. Even though I wouldn’t put this version in my top 10, I find this one to be SUPER enjoyable throughout, hence my upvote. You don’t need any more reason to give it a thumbs-up. I’m sure most people here would say the same. That’s the thing about taste…it’s always subjective.

Wrong date. This was played on the 19th, not the 20th. There's a reason it's not listed here.

Again, this song wasn't played on this date. It's from the 19th, not the 20th. Filler on Dave's 35.

Because this song wasn't played on this date - it was played on the 19th, and included as filler on Dave's 35.
