This could have been the debute of this song. A very young Bobby is kind of yelling it. It's interesting to hear how these early covers evolved.

This is a beautiful and emotional version, it's hard to hear over the crowd noise, but they where digging it!

Bobby was singing with clarity and authority on this one. This is a good tight version.

Billy and Micky lay down a tight rythm for every one to lock into, and they do. Crowd noize on all sources that i've heard.

This song is from what seems to be kind of an over looked show. The sound quality isn't the best, but the playing and singing is.

Robert Hunter said this song is as close to being a classic as any song that he and Jerry wrote. I think it made it, as did quite a few others. This is an underappreciated acoustic version from the fantastic Capitol theater.

^^ I just re-listened to this one. I don't know what I was talking about. Jerry takes an inventive solo on this version. I guess you have to listen with fresh ears sometimes. Some votes for this song are wasted because a faulty submission problem on this site. It should be voted up, for sure!
