Smokin' hot. Bob's vocals aren't perfect, but they are passionate. I will take passion over perfection every time.

Love the uptempo versions of this for an encore. Never was a big fan of the mid-tempo flat ones.

Providence Civic Center

A spirited version, with Jerry taking the lead and solid Bob vocals.

Jerry's spot on. Phil's thumping. Bob's vocals are passionate. They play it like they want to.
Playin' In The Band
Nov. 18, 1972
Hofheinz Pavilion

This is one of those things that makes you ashamed to be a Deadhead. The jamming here is so far above and beyond everything from 8-27-72 that it's not even worth debating. But regardless, we still have to put up with the nonsense that is Playin from 8-27-72 and deal with the shame that this is somehow second best.
El Paso

Red Rocks Ampitheater

The last El Paso they did in 1985 before Bob's voice goes out.

The Fox theater

October-November 1985, Bob is having issues with his voice. He struggles to find a place in the song where his faults aren't highlighted and does a pretty good job of hanging in there.
