Probably a "misdated" Dew, but no matter; this early version is as emotive as it gets

I usually prefer the China>Rider combo but this is a must hear version; Jerry really pours on the HEAT between the verses!!

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.

Just a wonderful version, one of my favorites of '77

The Other One

Century II Convention Hall

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