My favourite as well. Some great harmonica work from Pig. Like the Mexicali that precedes it, kind of a peculiar placement, falling after the jam suite, late in the second set. However, in both cases I think it's kind of neat for a change and renews your focus on them...

Agree with Carrion_Crow...they hit the sweet spot as far as the tempo is concerned on this version. Perfect groove.

Agree with what others have said...a great, clean version with great vocals and an appropriate amount of jamming to keep the magic of the song intact. Could be the definitive non-jammed electric version...

Definitely one of the more aggressive ones. Furious capper to an all-time great show!

The more deliberate tempo at the start of this one makes the cacophony of the climax that much more dramatic. When it starts too brisk, it doesn't have sufficient room to build. This first set may be a bit more mellow than others, but it's still stellar start-to-finish — a nice one to enjoy with one's morning coffee on a lazy day...
