Great version, Jerry on fire especially during the outro

Part of a big second set jam, emerging from space and segueing into Truckin', Jerry really moves through the gears towards the end

Short but sweet and very hot. Embedded into a great 2nd set

Insanely good, my personal favourite - Jerry goes otherworldly. Scorcher

This and the one a year to the day are scorching.

Honolulu Civic Auditorium

This is outstanding, nearly 40 mins on DaP19. Never a dull moment, great rap including a random guest appearance for a few minutes from an unknown voice, not a dull moment despite its incredible length! Should get much higher now the full version has been released
Not Fade Away
July 17, 1976
Orpheum Theatre

Great version, especially for a standalone. Should be higher IMO

Raceway Park

As soon as I heard this I knew it would be at the top on here. Unbelievable jamming, full throttle for 20 minutes, this is the Dead at their best. Absolutely nuts. This has got to be considered one of their best versions of any song in their repertoire. It's that good.
