One of the best stand-alone versions IMO, this one gets quite extended for such an early version, with a jam that flows and peaks.

Ok so it's no 6/28/74, but this one holds its own. Real nice playing that gets pretty deep into that freaky-jazzy stuff they do oh so well

Excellent version. Garcia's playing is sharp and jazzy, and Phil is laying into it with some nice bombs. Smooth segue into a great Other One jam

Jazzy Other One with a really nice segue out of Spanish jam.

YES!!!! One of the very best, my favorite of '67 by far. The Vaudeville meets punk ending the boys tack on is hilarious!
