Great version of this song, percision and energy.

This is a murky recording but a solid version of DW. Jerry was laying down some nice "twangy" country licks on this one.

Incredibly energetic version, Bobby is at his best on this one. This was from a Fillmore East show, how could it not have been submited.

This is pure psychedelic magic, as is this whole show. Jerry is on fire on this one!

This is a very clean version and a good mix. Nice up-tempo version. Jerry's vocals and guitar playing are both in good form here. Keith is adding some very nice and appropriate piano work on this one.

I had to give this another listen. The contemplative quality of this version really conveys the emotional content of this song. And Jerry's solo is superb. Not the best mix, but a great version.

Because the critics just don't understand the art of noodling! If any one really listens to Jerry's playing you will discover a melodic and tonal complexity that should place him high on the list of the best rock guitarists of all time!

It's to bad that the audio quality is so bad on this version. They played this one with a lot of energy and imagination, it takes some unexpected turns and everyone's locked in. Jerry was channeling 1968 Jerry, at times.
