They really attack it as opposed to sauntering through it…one of the most energetic I’ve heard! Don't let an audience tape scare ya...

Really great solo from Jerry — fast, banjo-style picking

Starts with some Buddy Rich-style hi-hat play…sounds like he’s doing that thing Buddy would do playing the bottom hat with his left hand fingers!

I like this song a lot more at this tempo...it's a beautiful song, but it doesn't need to be pushing 10 minutes at 50 bpm IMO

They actually only played it six times on this tour, with 5/25 being the only one after this. I agree, it's a great version apart from Jerry's minor lyrical flubs.

Jerry is in a very adventurous with both his riffing and the solo on this one. Great, swaggering version.

Jerry's vocals are very impassioned on this one, seemingly paying special attention to each syllable...
