Not the best recording, but Jerry vocals are just right on this version.

Bobby's voice is in top form on this tight, energetic version. The transition into NFA is flawless.

This is a tight, high enegy, version. Really about as good as this song got. You can tell the audience agreed.

Good acoustic version of this song. The audio quality isn't as good as the 05/70 versions but the playing and vocals are quite good.

From an all acoustic set. Tight harmonies on this one.

Billy takes charge. After the first verse he lays down a rhythm that Phil locks into, then Keith, then Jerry starts down an adventurous path leading to some sonic magic. This is a very strong version, even by 72 standards.

Jerry really delivers the lyrics of this very moving song. I wish they had added the harmonies during the bridge that Bobby and Donna added later, then perfected by Brent and Bobby. But this is still an outstanding version.

If you want to know why Pig Pen was so valuable to the band, listen to 66!

This as good, or better then any version of this song that I've heard. Tight, energetic and you can hear everybody on this recording. Jerry tearing up that red Guild!

Their on to Grad School. Contemplative, at first, then they jump into it. Jerry's giving that SG a work out. Then at about 12 minutes in, they soften it up, then go out strong.
