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.

I agree with the majority. This is a very nice. I think that is a good enough description. This whole show is great. No idea why it is hard to find. I had a great sbd of this way back when I was trading tapes. All the top rated shows from DeadBase were widely available at the time. A lot of what made them top shows is that they were accessible. And, of course, great shows. But great song and strong version.

Perfect. I can’t imagine a better version. I like Dead Set a lot though.

I agree with BigNoze. Early fast versions are fun. Late slow versions are not fun. This one makes me dance.

Great show and song. One of the best Dick’s Picks.

Europe 72 was my first Dead album and this was the song that tuned me in.
