Still my favourite. This one and 10/16 should be on the first and second places. All the other versions listed above are great, but these two version surpasses them by far.

After hearing this one again I can say that it could easily be my favourite version, perhaps only behind 5/2/70

Usualy a 15-20 minutes PITB first set closer (as usual in 73) is a nice treat, but here it's a real highlight of the show, so good it's unreal

It's not a Grateful Dead concert if somebody doesn't messes-up their lyrics :P This one actually made me smile :)

Love this version, it has a slower pace than usual and it's just so groovy, might be my new favourite (pre-hiatus) version
