Jerry really connects the dots in the solo. The first few phrases in particular are sublime.

Brooding, hypnotizing version. Beautiful playing by Jerry and Brent, and brilliant vocal with unexpected touches.

Best Brent solo I've ever heard on this tune. Jerry follows up in style.

Great solo with brilliant Brent accents, and then burning coda. Check out what Jerry plays at 6:06. Listen to the Bob Morris aud.

How is this not on here? Dark and deep, dominated by Phil and Bobby.

50 years ago today. Every moment of this incredible version is seared into my brain. What they play at 16:00 for exactly 1 minute kills me every time.

Speaking of outro jams, this one is worth a listen. Jerry full of ideas, Bobby pushing him along. You can skip right to it tho.

Long, quiet, melancholy version. Great Jerry/Keith interplay.

Red Rocks Amphitheatre

Agree with bike guy that this should be at least as high as the band was. Jerry's solo before SSDD is mindbending.

Great version at the end of an amazing 2nd set sequence. Love what Bobby plays at the end, and Jerry throughout.
