Another late soulful version that Jerry kills at the end vocally and with the Ax. One of the best shows from this year.

Love this version with Bob on acoustic and Jer and his twangy guitar. Great screaming by Bob at the end!

Love every E72 version and watching them evolve...this one at 11 mins of goodness.

Tremendous soulful version. Jer just rips a mean solo at the 4 min mark.

Grendel, I respect your thoughts bigtime. I guess it does depend on how you like your Playins. I know we both don't dig nonsense noise in DS's and Playin's. I will listen to 2/26 again and and evaluate it on an elegance level. With that being said, I did say it was the highlight of Set 1. Thanks for your analysis.

Different beast than 2/26/77, but 39 minutes of goodness. The 6 minute build up to the reprise is golden and then just pounded home with not just power chords, but some cool playing by Jer. I can't believe Grendel hasn't commented...he is usually like don't forget the reprise. I will await his thoughts on this one after just commenting on 2/26/77.

Its a nice version, but just a warm up to the May/June versions.

Super tight for first time played. Great quality sound from the link. Pretty hard not to really dig this tune.
