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.

The Other One
April 6, 1969
Avalon Ballroom

There's so many great O1s from this era. This one is a stand out, mostly because of the inventiveness of Jerry's playing. There was something about that SG in 69 that brought out Jerry's psychedelic magic. Everyone else is feeling Jerrys every move on this one. Then the transition to Cryptical then Death is mind blowing. Prepare your head space, Listen then vote!

^Yes, this is the closest to the Marty Robbins version that I've heard. I usually don't dig their take on this song, but this one really works, my favorite for sure.

The Ark

this is a very unusual and interesting 11! It's a long musical meandering that includes a lot of different movements and song quotes. Right before they work into an excerpt of Mountain Jam they play around with & We Bid you Goodnight, Which they play a little later; weird in a good way!
