hot, hot, hot. Pig kills it vocally and on the harmonica, and Jerry doing his thing per usual. So many great songs like this that they played allll tour long! For a brief second, this one has a small New Speedway Boogie-ish jam towards the end that makes it real neat

Really cool China Cat here and a much slower-than-usually played Rider. And I like it!

Hot as hell, this Scarlet>GDTRFB is killer. And what an awesome surprise this must've been instead of FOTM! No comparison between the two, but I think a little change up hits the spot with this performance
