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.

Jer and the boys just dominate this one. They hit every chord change just exactly perfect, and Jerry's end solo is great. Intense vocals all the way through. A guy calls for them to play "Purple Haze" after the song on the Mance/Bass audience tape, which is excellent. The soundboard is also very good for '82.

Jerry is pretty absent for most of the song (it sounds like he was trying to get the steel drum MIDI set on his rig), but the rest of the band absolutely kills it. Vince does some great work here. When Jer finally kicks it into gear, the jam starts to go to some interesting places.

This is a stand-out for sure. This whole show is probably the best of 1994.

This performance contains the best Phil I have heard on a Dew. The appropriate amount of Phil Bombs this song deserves.
