Like the night before, a great version from a legendary show that I'm surprised wasn't already here...

Shocked this wasn't here already...gorgeous version from a legendary show, about two weeks before they recorded the studio version.

For a song with less diversity from one version to the next, this one is better than most, and rare coming so late in the show...

I'll help you out, cgarces! This version is hot, as is the whole show, which is my favourite of '77 as well. I share your praise for 2/13/70 and 5/11/72 as well!

Too bad they didn't try this more often in '74...very beautiful, tender rendition.

Just got the Pacific Northwest '73-'74 box set and threw this on...very nice version.

Slinky indeed. Neat to have Jerry playing the organ part during the verses on this one. One of my favourite Pig raps as well...
