I am always on the search for top notch Cassidys' and this one really checks all the right boxes. The mid song jam is en fuego

Tight and focused, only 8 minutes but for 8 minutes it covers a lot of ground.

Tender and sorrowful. Jerry hits all the right notes.

This version starts off tentative and Bob forgets most of the lyrics. You're thinking "Yeesh, this version is going to be a mess." Then the midsection jam starts. Great recovery but this version still lacks the steller Jerry peaks that the top notch versions have.

They pack a lot into a jam that is a little less than 10 minutes. Love this dreamy version.

I love the build up in this version.

Vince overpowers Jerry's vocals on the SBD, but this version has a nice flow otherwise. Jerry and Vince play well together here.
