Oakland Auditorium

Given that this is the most rockin' song the Dead played, those idiotic bells that Brent plays mars the song. They are completely out of place here.

Really good - showcases just how good a rock & roll piano player Keith was, but not the best from the early versions with the different lyrics.

For the most part, floppy, lazy, unfocused. How you could think this is better than 9-20-90 is beyond me.

The song opens up unfocused and lazy. Towards the end, it's Brent carrying the song. What does that say about Jerry? The Sunshine Daydrem tries to start twice, with Billy giving the cue, but the rest of the band missing it. When it finally gets going, Bob starts rambling some nonsense about Aboriginies - or whatever way it's spelled. At that point, I'm checking out - I've had enough. Second best ever? Pass the crack pipe.

You people must be smoking crack. How can something be the best ever when the first 50% of it is slow, lazy, unfocused and lacking in direction and purpose? Seriously. The first 4 minutes of this version sucks.
