Tight, inspired, and full of ideas. A stand-out version from a stand-out show.

Tight, hard-driving, and full of energy. A great rave up after some thoughtful somber passages before.

Gorgeous soloing from Jerry and a tender vocal performance. The new mix on the Giants box really lets this one shine.

Surprised this has no votes. This version is played with a level of energy and precision CJ rarely ever got. Great set 2 opener.
