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...

An all-timer kicking off an all-time great show, just two weeks before they recorded the studio version...

Am I the only one who finds '73 PITB's slightly underwhelming compared to their Fall '72 counterparts? Don't get me wrong, they're well-played and great to vibe to, but they don't seem to be as complex for the most part...

One of the best. I've never heard Jerry sing it better...
