Slow and smooth, in a St Stephen sandwich. Very chill and perfectly played

Lyrically dreadful, but very enjoyable nonetheless from a very underrated show

Omaha Civic Auditorium

Goes into hyperdrive just before the 4 minute mark, long and fierce version, much more complex and interesting than the average

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

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

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

Orpheum Theatre

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

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.
