Whoa, I can't believe this hasn't been submitted. Great vocal and four minutes of sublime outro solo. Check it out!

Phil is high in the mix. One of the best '71 versions, I believe.

Jerry is in fine voice. Totally underrated version. Minimalist church-like organ from Brent. A lot of syncopated percussion here. A must listen.

Wow, Bob's voice is thrashed on this one. Just average.

May I make the bold assertion that this is the best show of 1968?

This is so much better than Pauley, yet that has more votes, despite Donna's off-key harmonizing. And then there's the lovely ending solo of this one. Really like the solo vocals, I wish we had heard that all of the time.

Really like this version and Jerry's riffs. The end of a nearly perfect show, perhaps my favorite of all time.
