Jerry is a bit subdued BUT the solo may be the best ever.

First set opener, I really dig the MDs os this era. Still kind of sturdy and brisk but becoming the majestic ballad that it was in the 70s/80s.

Well I dig this one, sure. It has a ton of energy. Jerry spends most of the solo on chordal stuff which is heavy and nice, but for top ranking I need a little more note-playing stuff.

This is indeed a really good one. Don't think I'd say top 5, but maybe.

This has been my favorite version for enough years that I don't think that's going to change. Cornell ranked above this is absurd. There is indeed a case for Nov. 4th, but I like this one better. But even the Mosque ahead of this? Nonsense! I take heart, though, that there are some wise comments above.
