The boys had the odasity to play this song during their set at Giants stadium during the Dylan and the Dead tour, and rightfully so!

If it wasn't for some audio glitches, this would be one of the top versions of this song. Keith and Donna are both outstanding on this one.

A brilliantly played O1 that has been tragically overlooked. The mix on this is spot on.

There is a nice guitar interplay between Jerry and Bobby on this one. Nice bouncy version.

Other than some talking on this recording, this is a really good version.

Death Don't Have No Mercy

Fillmore West

Good recording. You can hear everybody. Stellar, emotive playing by Jerry. Fourth on the Heady list is about right for this version.

Family Dog at the Great Highway

^^ Great version from a great show. TC sounds particularly good on this one. Jerry's singing and playing are aptly emotional for this song. According to Heady voters, this is about the 10th best version of this song, that's about right I would say.

Fillmore Auditorium

^^Agreed. The volume of Jerry's guitar could be higher and his vocal lower. Yes, at the time of this show the song was evolving from a fast paced psychedelic romp into a meaningful balad.

Carousel Ballroom

This is a really good 68 version.The boys aproched this song like their other psychedelic gems of the time, before the anthemic jam vehicle that it would become.
The Other One

Gulfstream Park Race Track

Absolutely furious. This was the Miami pop Festival; the east coast version of Monterey Pop. This was an early outing of the SG for Jerry. I see why he played only that guitar for another year.
