    Jam chartThe band, as if making up for not playing the song in 134 shows, delivers a choice version. Joyous soloing from Trey and Page intertwine beautifully, turning the Petersen into a windswept cathedral of sound which culminates in a peak of heartfelt glory. That said, it's Fishman's driving, propulsive play and blistering fills that truly elevate this special performance.

    Jam chartUnusual, up-tempo version, reflects the studio recording, but with a twist: Page's "synthesized" solo. Accompanied by beautiful play from Trey, Page creates a warm wave ethereal and gorgeous, before once again teaming up with Trey, going acoustic, and working through the conclusion with a spirited flourish.
