Users have designated the following versions as heady!

Perfect groove and massive push from Phil post-lyrics

Lightning quick yet totally on-track riffs from Jerry; intense, powerful version. Weir 100% into it. Segues into killer Deal. Trust me. Must hear.

White Hot 80's version

Like every song in this vastly underrated show: Just Exactly Perfect.

A heady version

A standout version from a great show.

Beautiful Solo and Great all around version.

One of the best played versions from one of the best played shows in the Brent era---ever.

Brent's touch's are perfect. Jer wakes up and carves some mean bolts before the end verse.

Band is firing this night whole show is on point.

Phil's a beast from start to finish. Brent and Jerry shine on their solos.

Beautiful intro. Hot jamming. Major flub on the lyrics by Bob.

Cool rocker to close a hot show.

Hot vocals from Bob. Very well played all around. A forgotten gem.

Emotional!

Seguing from me and my uncle, crowd goes nuts. Smooth Rhodes playing and hot jer. Great version

Admittedly not as great as the DP13 version played 5 nights later, but still worthy of mention. This gets to that bluesy space in the outro.
