My only chance to make it to a Dead show and I blew it. Wish I'd been there for this majestic version.

Jerry compensates for flubbing the middle-8 lyrics with a subsequent solo of great beauty. Apart from said fuck-up, this is a really lovely version.

Brent's quite high in the mix and you can really appreciate what he's doing behind the solos. Swings and rolls along nicely.

This just brought me to tears. The vocal is especially moving.

Just terrific. Phil really shines. One of the very best of the very many I've heard.

Thanks for the heads up. Keith's having a lot of fun on this, isn't he?

The vocal is really delicate at times and deeply soulful, but getting the first line wrong stops it from being a perfect one. And there are one or two 'ouch, who did that?' notes played by someone here and there. Maybe I'm being too picky, though. It definitely deserves more love on the strength of the singing alone.
