Very beautiful, almost sparse playing on this one. It's different than most from '74 but it works.

Short but high octane version with Billy and Jerry crushing it...the jam rises to a furious climax!

Unusual version that starts out very quiet and minimalistic, alternating throughout from hot to cold. Jerry and Billy are really tearing it up!

Indianapolis State Fair Coliseum

Killer Nobody's jam in which Jerry apparently breaks a string, but Keith steps up very nicely. Some subtle Other One teases towards the end of one.

The per-verse jam is some of the most transcendentally beautiful playing I've ever heard on this song... Garcia is just perfect!!!

Love this laid-back jazzy version. Classic, ultra-chill performance all around.

I'm not a big fan of the "horns shows" but I do dig this one. The best version with horns by far is 9/11/73 IMO.
