A great energetic version of the song. How this wasn't on here already beats me.

From a Keith and Donna show but still belongs here - Jerry on lead vocals with a nice drum break from Billy and awesome vocals from Donna

I just discovered this version, and it's now one of my favorite Dead performances. This one song has everything I love about the Dead combined.

The closest live jam to the studio version.

Some of Keith’s best playing makes for a very spacey treat.
