Captures all that's great about this song. Uplifting, joyful, smile-inducing. Can't believe this one's not here yet.

Supreme version: Fast, precise and galloping. Great harmonies with Jer singing backup.

Propulsive and moody. Melodic developments developed over 20 minutes of energetic jamming. Billy and Phil are driving throughout.

Expansive, exploritory, and spaced out in places, a nice ride and another great from Spring '73.

A cappella finish after someone apparently kicked out their instrument amps right at the end. Good old Grateful Dead just said "F. it, let's keep singing". Love it.

Real blues. Pigpen was on this night and the show belongs to him.

Thanks MerryJerry Wacked: You're right. This is an exploratory, muscular and gorgeous version. Seems they were putting a lot of energy in this song all tour. Brother Bertrando left us a great AUD not to be missed.

An absolutely smoking, brilliant Playin'. A wild ride full of the wheels within wheels of groupmind. Sounds like they could have been headed into a MLB jam before they arrived at Wharf Rat. And the reprise kicks serious ass.

May - June '74 Wharf Rats just slay me. This one is so beautiful. My god, is it beautiful.
