They attack this one with a rare level of energy and precision. Nice showcase for Pig on Organ too.

Keith and Bobby absolutely crush it, setting up a white hot solo from Jerry to kick off a brilliant show.

Bob and Phil are actually the heroes on this one.

Much stronger than the versions from the Spring.

I've long felt that this song was sort of beneath the band, but this version is something else. The performance of the song itself is sharp, but the jam section is particularly satisfying. Groovy, patient and just plain fun.

The delight is in the details on this one. Lots of unique flourishes and great tone on this one. Exemplifies the notion that you can't judge a show by the setlist -- you have to judge it by how its played.

The mellow jazz jam stays propulsive thanks to Kreutzmann. The lack of a Pigpen rap doesn't bother me one bit.
