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

Absolutely gorgeous version, one of the best of the period.

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

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!
