Wow Jerry gives every single word a little extra attention, dialed in a very emotional reading. Brent is fantastic on this version. A classic take.

The best, the tension builds to double before the release. This is absolutely my favorite version, just when you think they will release the tension Jerry doubles it, incredible powerful psychedelic beauty. A true powerhouse and deserves way more up votes.

Jerry could still muster the energy to bring it every know and then in 1995. This is a shining example. Fabulous Playing and singing. Every version is hot in 1995, but this is the best.
