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!

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

Wow this one really moved up! Nice to see it near the top where it deserves to be :)

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.
