    NoteDerek Trucks on guitar.

    Jam chartThis song closing the second set is about the only thing normal about it. Part of the Derek Trucks sit-in, this standout version is unique in "First Tube" history. Derek and Trey's play is complementary as they navigate the song. Derek then takes center stage with some truly deft playing, even busting out the slide. Things eventually reach a screaming, soaring peak. Must-hear version.
