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.

Perfectly played from start to finish.

I can confirm that Jerry and the band were completely whacked for this show. If you ever get the chance, check out the liner notes from the Winterland '77 boxed set. There is a photo of Bobby...you must see. 8~0

Not a fan of this song really, but this one is just exactly perfect.
