This is a good version and I really like the tone on Garcia’s guitar during the solo and great closing vocals. Give it a listen.

The first live version needs to be on this list, very well sung by Garcia and well played. They didn’t play this song enough.

“Thought I heard a young man” lines are just off the charts, Garcia giving every ounce. Give it a listen

If Sept ’87 MSG is most people’s favorite version, (at least the most votes for a 80’s version) than this version needs to be recognized.

Another great vesion from ’71 with a unique transition jam after the “We bid you Goodnight” coda, this time into JBG.

Another great version from the fall of ’79. Phil is driving this train, powerful chords throughout, nice Weir solo and then Jerry kills it. “The Song that Women sung…” Road Trips No.1 Vol 1 Full Show

“Grendel Books and Music” is right, this version smokes. I just finished listening to the second set of this show, which has some very Heady versions as well.
Deal
May 10, 1978
Veterans' Memorial Coliseum

“Coralsandbelow” and “Maximillian” If you guys like this Deal, (which I also do as well), check out the UVM version from 5/6/78, 3 shows before this one. The Donna warning is also appropriate.

The Palladium

Yes this whole jam is very good, I love the slow mellow Jerry space jam that melts into Stella Blue, great nomination “hmi1892- another fan”.

Autzen Stadium, U. of Oregon

Torin, never stop now is soo right, this version is “Balls Out Rock and Roll”, the peak will leave you breathless, very, very aggressive, surprised they didn’t blow a few speakers.
