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

Should be higher. I don't think I've heard a better version. Phil is insane.

Amazing version. The best 70s versions have an airy, elastic quality, with Jerry sounding like a shower of sparks. His solo and playing in the jam are awesome.

I love what Jerry plays from 9:10-9:20
