Can't believe this isn't listed! Really massive verison with not one, but two slipknot teases. Jerry is on fire!!

May be the best of the early versions. Has that '73 bounce, but with something a little extra.

So very tender. Check out Jerry's beautiful solo during the bridge!

OMG!!!! This may just be the the best. Only downside is a brutal cut at the climax of Jerry's solo during the bridge...but this is still a must hear!

Absolutely ON FIRE. Hottest version of the spring tour, easily.

One of my favorites, very unique jam.

Assembly Hall - Indiana University

Wonderful outro, with a *seamless* transition from the triumphant sounding jam of WR back to the space-jazz jamming of Playin' reprise.

Amazing, triumphant jamming. One of the most powerful versions ever played.
