I'll be damned. Not here yet. Fantastic jam with Jerry following Bobby's jabs and turns. Also notable because Bobby doesn't trip over the words in Sup

Sometimes you know a tune will be heady on the first note. The crowd seems to know it too. Killer solo.

Ass-kicking version, beautifully sung. Notable in that every note of Bobby's slide playing is exactly in tune.

Always looking for the great middle jams in this tune. This one is long, meandering, dreamy

The intro has a Dark Star vibe. Great version.

Fantastic, raucous version. Great solo. Great slide playing by Bobby (you heard me right).

Heavy, intense version. Listen to Phil as well as Jerry in the jam.

Jerry gives it all in the solo. Had to listen to it twice. Even the parts that don't sound good sound great when you listen again.

Weird raggedy version with some amazing Jerry moments. Also love the guy who yells when Phil comes in on the intro.
