The jam during this blows me away every time. Pure psychedelic bliss. An argument could easily be made that this is the definitive version.

Manhattan Center

Powerful and driving blues jam, with a unique ending. Garcia tears this one up, and Lesh provides a great hollow bass sound.

Off the rails, intense blues jamming.

Orlando Arena

Relaxed, controlled, and tight. Garcia owns this one.

Avalon Ballroom

Insane early version. Weir goes off on the vocals, and there is some energetic old time Dead jamming.

This is a powerful, great version. Fire find here, should've been posted long ago.

Winterland Arena

Ah shit man! This is sick, right up there with "The Phil Zone" version of 8/6. Nearly just as powerful. Jerry's solo is mind-bendingly good, and Phil perfectly climbs the fretboard raising the climax of the solo. Fucking nuts version.

They went all out during this version, off the friggin' hook. Great find, also to add this whole show is absolutely smoking, and overlooked. With the gold mine that is 1971 it is understandable that a gem like this could be passed over.

Sweet version, some slow and thoughtful solos by Jerry, does not drag, although played slowly, a very good version.

This is a genuinely awesome version.
