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.

Golden Hall

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.

A beautiful performance.

Alpine Valley Music Theatre

Low Phil in the mix, as per usual in '82, but his massive bombs roar through. Probably the most energetic performance I've heard.

Jerry's solos will take you on a trip to heaven.

This is one of the only MIDI version of this song that I enjoy.

The "Big River" following this is needed to pull you back down to earth after hearing this.
