Lots of great versions of this song, but the Dead Set one is in pure Go To Heaven form. Brent's synth work is amazing.

Unreal this hasn't been submitted yet. The version from Steppin Out. Like Garcia is reading off sheet music for the solos. Outstanding version.

Wha? This isn't on here? Clocking in at 36:25 following the insane PITB. Keeps your attention all the way through. Very good MIDI by Mickey.

The DP 35 houseboat tapes version is very hot for '71. Great interplay between the band, Phil Bombs.

Huge peak in the outro solo. Bobby does the space slide and Jerry just plucks away. Hot early Brent show.

The middle jam is excellent.

Short, but incredibly psychedelic.

St. Stephen tease during the ending Jer solo.

Technically, far from perfect—but man, this one will kick you in the teeth. Super heavy Phil zone and blasts of energy.

Holy cow. I have heard great performances of this song before, but this one has bumped the others off the top of the leader board. Great show all around too.
