The jam in this take blazes hotter than most any other - Jer throws an Eww! in there for good measure.

2nd half of a double encore - listen to Jerry's unique phrasing so different then later versions.

The 2nd Jam is the gift that keeps giving - check it out to hear why - unreal jam, unreal show. Super Old Testament styled Dead.

Jerry sprays the fire with a kerosene hose on the final jam. I feel he made up for missing the middle jam tempo shift where he got ahead of himself and blazed by the buildup before the drop. A sbd of this would launch it up the standings at least for '80's renditions.
