Unique "slow" version that caps off a monster jam out of Truckin'. Must hear material.

There is something indescribably sweet and perfect about this version...sounds like it could have been recorded for an album. I just love it.

Very laid back but sooo tasty. Jerry's lines are so supple.

Awesome version, Jerry has a cool feedback/sustain part during the solo that just gets me every time. Segues into a killer GSET.

Yes! One of the great lesser-known versions from '72.

Great pre verse jams on this one...very jazzy. The post verse tiger/space gets pretty nuts.

Amazing, the post verse jams are some of the wildest and trippiest of all time...Keith and Jerry wail!!!

A beautiful, jazzy, and mellow rendition with a nice unique intro by Jerry. Love how fresh they kept this song in this era.
