Kind of a humorous version makes it worth a listen. Includes lots of animal noises

Not bad! The mid song jam is very nice.

Splendid version, Jerry takes his time with the solo to make sure every note is perfect.

A rare UJB > PITB > UJB sandwich. Not the most extended jam ever but the segues are slick.

I love how the unique transition jam comes back up again later on in the show during the Estimated > Eyes transition.

Everytime this song comes up I always lament that this song could have been an amazing jam vehicle for the band. These short but jazzy '79 versions show why. I always wish the pre "Flight of the seabirds" jam was stretched out just a bit more.

Jerry really battles his guitar to get the solo out in this version. Lots of feedback problems. Jerry eventually prevails which makes for a cool version worthy of a listen.
