Spectacular depth, detail, and feeling. Drummers drive the transitions, while Jerry offers cool rhythmic variations.

Fillmore West

Exploratory transition jam! Very different from most early versions. Has that anarchic ’60s energy.

Practically flawless early version played with focus and intensity.

Fillmore West

High-velocity, high-power jamming magic, all packed into less than nine minutes. Intense. From a wonderful overlooked show.

Very well played and sung! Pity about the audience member humming along out of tune, but otherwise a fine ’69 AUD.

Coliseum Arena

Do not overlook this version. Equals or surpasses the other versions from '89-'91. Incredible molten jam.

Boston Music Hall

I couldn't believe how good this version is. Can sometimes take or leave the song, but this is INCREDIBLE.

Lille Fairgrounds

Tight, melodic, lovely. This one really grabbed my attention.

Veterans Memorial Coliseum

No kidding! Thunderous, yet melodic. Try it -- you'll like it.

Fillmore East (Late Show)

Good version, but I believe it's played electric.
