Blissful, otherworldly, mellow (but intense) transition...why wasn't this on the Dick's Picks?!?!

constantly shifting gears from firey to spacy, hardly lets up for full 23 mins. A surprising gem from Euro '74!

A unique, interesting version due to the "china white". Has an almost country flavor with what sounds like a lot of slide guitar. A cool jam for sure.

I agree this smokes 6/21/80...definitely the VERY BEST '80s rendition I have heard. Jerry is totally unstoppable, each instrumental break hits a higher peak than the last.

This Other One is legend. Just a brutal psychedelic attack from start to finish....one of the very best ever!
