Among the versions I've heard this is my favorite, and I also think the cleanest version.

Calveras County Fairgrounds

Besides the fact they played this for the first time since '70, the performance features the unmistakable guitar playing of guest Carlos Santana.

Sandstone Amphitheatre

This is a quality 90's version of the trio of songs, and it happens to be a long half hour version too.

A solid rendition of the song. The band (especially Jerry) is on fire during the breakdown.

The Setlist website says that it is. For the first time out they did a swell job.

I just stumbled upon this version and I agree that it's a nice jazzy take. When Branford was able to come in add his saxophone it always added a nice twist to the song.

Boise Pavilion - Boise State University

I don't listen to BRB too often but this is a nice version of the tune.
It's All Over Now Baby Blue

Dane County Coliseum

As I presume many people know, this tune is on the album Postcards of the Hanging: Grateful Dead Perform the Songs of Bob Dylan. They picked a good version of the song for the album.
