Rock music as it should be. The band is really on this night and this song just flies.

Donna and Bobby really sing it-NO screeching. Their singing throughout this June 76 run is just fine. For all you Donna haters, listen to this

Solid,well sung, nice little solo, and it is so sweet after the huge UJB>Wharf Rat>DS>Sugar Mag that comes before it. It just fits in so well.

Berkeley Community Theatre

Far out. A great version from a great week-possibly the best week for the band ever? Well top 3 anyhow. From the opening night at the Berkeley 4 night run which keeps getting better and better and ends at VENATA 27/8/72-point me to a better week in Dead history.

Starts off my favourite 2nd set of 1974. Best ever US Blues coming out of a superb Weather Report suite>jam SSDD and a good GDTRFB ending with... My favourite ever Ship of Fools.

Kongressaal, Deutsches Museum

This show is often overlooked -easy to do in Europe '72, but trust me, this is as good as it gets. The whole show is top 5( a pointless exercise I know!) but I think it's really very good from start to end.

You can find this on You Tube as well if you want to see the boys in action.

Last ever:-( I really love this song. The Dead in their day really could do it all, couldn't they? Just listen to Keith's very bluesy right hand. Just exactly perfect.
