We need a Winterland version, don't we?

A laid back one. Phil's bass and Billy in the groove.

Everyone is on for this one. Great vocals, even by Donna. Why isn't this getting any love?

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

Rotterdam Civic Hall

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.
