Nice version, out of an epic Bertha, both of which need more love!

Absolutely relentless!!! Listen to this incredible show but poorly sourced show!

All-time FIRE version! (Do you people even listen to less-than-perfect AUDs?)

Pocket-groovin’ version, (as opposed to stratospheric). Stunned I’m posting this one…

Again, very indicative of the show. No highlights, but hot as fuck.

Fuck yeah, Donna! (And fuck absolutely anyone who doesn’t get down with the DG! If you don’t like her, you should’ve confronted Jerry face-to-face back in the day, to tell him how much his musical choices for the band sucked. You wouldn’t have lasted a day inside the band/on tour, yet she fuckin’ owned it for years. Here’s an Angel for you to make your complaint to…)

Holy-fuckin’-smokes! Jerr is almost just exactly perfectly on it, which is good enough, and he’s rippin’ (along with everyone else) until the 4:30 “I had to move” breakdown (Miller mix), when they all lay down an absolutely all-time sequence that should go down in the annals as a hall-of-fame + mind-blowing 30 seconds. This is why we listen to this band. (3 votes, as of this writing = ugh. Where is everybody…?!)

The between-verse-fills have almost no equal from any time, before or after, as they didn’t exist 9-13 years earlier, and certainly not after the coma. Unbelievable level he was at, though it wasn’t nearly as coherent as it had been, from a cohesive band standpoint. Strange but good times.
