Very nice solo from Jerry. Phil is all over this as well, some great melodic bass playing that compliments the song very well.

These early 70s Jack Straws have so much Charm. Silky smooth rendition full of grace and wonderful joyous interplay. Surprised this isn’t here yet.

“It’s polka time!” Shouts Bobby at the beginning of this one! Honored to submit this one. Absolute rager from an underrated show.

Stunning organ parts that take the song to a different level. Feels like I'm going down a lazy river without a care in the world.

^1000% agree. I prefer this from the album version. You really cannot go wrong with either or, but I love this version for its urgency and gradient landscapes this version is able to portray. What a special night.

Jerry's tone is particularly haunting this night. This version is dripping with lysergic ooze.
