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.

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

^^ 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.

^^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.

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.

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.
