Smokin' hot. Bob's vocals aren't perfect, but they are passionate. I will take passion over perfection every time.

Love the uptempo versions of this for an encore. Never was a big fan of the mid-tempo flat ones.

Nice showcase tune for Donna, to show the world she can do more than scream. Nice guitar work by Jerry towards the end.

Pigpen takes some small steps forward with his improvisational singing, but there's still a long way to go. Worth a listen.

Fun early version highlighted by some good Pigpen vocals and some screaming guitar work from Jerry. Give it a listen!

Let's face it - Phil's singing isn't very good and the instrumental work isn't up to Grateful Dead standards.

Hartford Civic Center

This is pretty low in the rankings of all-time best performances. The only real strong point is Bob's emphatic backup vocals.
