Jerry and Pigpen sing together in this one, and they brought the passion!

High intensity, coming in hot after a hot Caboose jam.

Powerful version. The vocal entrance at the end brings the house down, you can tell they're having fun; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gjjkcVIoys

Bob goes for it in the rap and Garcia smiles a bit. A fun latter day version, though it never jams out like mad. Video of it here! https://www.youtube

Kezar Stadium

Maybe, just maybe some of their most jammed out nights ever, and it pays off so well. Amazing performance.

Kezar Stadium

This has more potent Dirt jams than the Winterland version and is much less refined, but wilder and more jammed out. Those two shows really stand out, and they are quickly becoming some of my favourite ones.

What a suite, this Winterland show and the Kezar show has really gotten into my brains recently, they really were onto something special jam-wise in these shows, it's amazing.

The video made it all the better, the two-drummer jazz style (compared to the allout jazz drumming in the '72-'74 version) they had on the Playin' (SHINES in '76. What a year.
