Jerry's playing is so, so sweet here.

Gorgeous. Absolutely gorgeous. And not just Jerry, I want a special shout-out for Keith MF Godchaux. He really helps those solos soar.

I've always said I prefer slower, more emotional BEW's when I listen to this. It doesn't match the theme at all! ...But this is still the version I come back to every time. I can't trust my head on this, my heart knows the truth, there's something transcendent at play here.

Seriously underrated version. Aside from a flubbed line near the start, the vocals are really excellent, especially the Rio Grande-o section. Jerry's playing is genuinely quite inspired and the Vince/Bruce combo really puts it over the top. At times it almost sounds like a 70s Keith-era performance.
