In most ways typical of era but I wanted to note it for how fine Donna's voice is throughout this one.

Nice pacing with good energy. Playing is good with exception of Bobby's slide solo, which falls into that period of out of tune passion.

This is a really smoking version. The playing is great with high intensity and energy.

Nice transition from the drums. Good energy and firm attitude towards the song. Crowd enjoying it very much. Nice fading at the end.

I like how this one loses it's sense of being NFA. Good grinding jam and esp the interplay between Jerry and Bobby. Fun.

Pretty standard until "brave the storm to come" and then it is stupendous and moving. Donna is sweet and pure.

I really like the pace of this one. Takes its own sweet time to get to where it is going, but it satisfies. :0)
