Excellent version. Bobby brings it for the finale and the whole band thunders behind him on target throughout.

Folks, you need to hear this one. It's absolutely gorgeous. Great interplay between Jerry and Vince on the solos and the whole version oozes soul.

Obligatory, but fun nonetheless.

The first thirty seconds with Airto Moreira are blood curdling. Terrifying, trippy stuff. Handle with care.

Jerry and Bob have some fantastic interplay throughout this one.

Seriously, this needs to be WAAAAAAAY higher. They play this song like their welcoming back a long lost friend. Keith is more alive here than he is in any other part of the show. Jerry's solo is the definition of torched and his fills are to die for. As good as many 1972-74 versions.

One of those where you really can't find another one like it. This one's a real trip.

This early version reminds me of the Doors; Jerry even sounds like he's darkening his tone a bit to mirror Morrison a little. Really cool version.
