Spirited rendition. Jerry's backing vocals particularly so.

Samson and Delilah
March 14, 1982
Recreation Hall - University of California

If looking for slower plodding version this is most definitely not it!
Its All Over Now
July 8, 1987
Roanoke Civic Center

Probably wrong but seems like the hesitant start may be due to drummers setting a different pace than usual. But once band gets it it's a solid version.
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo
Nov. 20, 1973
Denver Coliseum

Sweet indeed as Mississippi Half-Steps right up into Dire Wolf.

Dec. 5, 1981
Market Square Arena

An (the?) audience version (listening to on gdradio.net) is for anyone who wants to feel like they're in attendance in enthusiastic audence and yet still hear all members in nice mix. Yeah, Jerry and crew are full on high gear here. Hot damn!
