Latest Dave’s Version is solid. Slower than some versions but very bluesy and Pig is at his best

Interesting song and show. Not a good recording and not the best show but worth a listen. Honky Tonk Women? From NFA on, it sounds like the Dead.

This version is amazing. Should be higher up. This entire show is underrated.

If Cornell weren’t 3 days later, this would be near the top. It is a beautiful fluid piece of music that pulls you in and keeps you close. This show has a lot of great moments. Peggy O is the best, St Stephen here is unreal with a couple missed lyrics but the playing is unmatched.

Someone should fix the date.

Wow. This may be the best known Dead show. One of them at least. For most of the show, I always think, good show but overrated. Then comes St Stephen-> epic NFA -> St Stephen -> Dew!! And, now I remember why so many think this is the peak. I can just zone out and be totally in the moment every time. Same with Englishtown, blows me away.

Very hot! More Allman’s than Dead on this song but some incredible musicianship all around.
