A big version. Listen as the baton gets passed without missing a beat.

An A1 performance that just improves with repeated listenings.

A bull's ass in fly season and the boys on this one are both TIGHT!!! (Although tight might not be the correct word for an awesome TLEO.)

Stanley Theatre

While not without imperfection, this version gets at that misty quality central to the ethos of the tune.

Scarlet Begonias

Capital Centre

Awesome jam at the end--that type mostly particular to the Dead's later period in which the jam doesn't seem to move linearly through time.
Eyes Of The World
May 13, 1983
Greek Theater

A good version. Spring '83 has some good shows, for sure.
Eyes Of The World
Dec. 18, 1973
Curtis Hixon Convention Hall

A good version.
Greatest Story Ever Told

Civic Center

This is the version that made me fall in love with this tune.
