The previous night's version was tasty, but this one is delicious. The nomination for this one is long overdue. The whole show is quintessential '76

Opens the first electric set from the last (and best) show from the 8 night run at NYC's Radio City Music Hall. Its nomination is long overdue!

Alert! This one not a throw-away. The best one of '74, no foolin'. Played with a perfect balance of gusto, gumption & grit.

Ditto to jonesbaron. Jerry brings his full gusto & swagger on this number! Not for the faint of heart, folks.

Not as balls out jammed like it would become over the next couple years, but it is the cleanest, near perfect version I've heard.

Silky smooth goodness. A tighter version I've yet to hear.

Have your Handkerchief ready! A deep, powerful, emotional version.

Love this version. Jerry treats us with his country twang side in full order for this number.
