I think '71-'72 was probably the peak for this song...

Typically great '72 version, falling between a great "Tomorrow Is Forever" and an epic DS

Another excellent '72 version. Seems like this show is one of the most under-the-radar great '72 shows...

This might be my favourite version. This is one of those songs that doesn't need to be jammed out IMO...the songwriting is good enough to stand on its own.

Swaggering version with the more careful tempos of this first set...
Deal

Olympia Theater

One of the slowest versions I've heard, but not in a bad way...I love listening to this first set with my morning coffee.
Greatest Story Ever Told

Olympia Theater

Last time it was used as an opener until 2/17/79 Oakland! Great start to my second-favourite show of the tour...
One More Saturday Night

Olympia Theater

Fitting capper to what is, IMO, a Top 10 show of their career...
