Early formulation. Very raw, almost demo-like.

Finale of a hard rocking post-space second set. Played with passion. Definitely Heady

I don't usually like the later versions but this captures the old version just exactly right. Made better by the preceding Truckin. This is, by far, my favorite Bobby version - this one could have dropped right out of 1970. The singing, the jams, the arrangement. Everything

Interesting to hear Jerry sing it. It's rough but it's also a light upbeat version which makes it a nicer listen (for me)

Lovely and really one of the best Mydland versions. Should be higher

The two keyboard Dead version of Deal. Jerry rips it up and the whole band is giving its all.

So few votes? This one smokes and I think it has some of Pig's clearest lyrics
