Why we love this band. Every little new nuance in each version. Love the way Garcia sings, "Oh well the Touch of Grey.." and the way he pronounces it.

Trippy underwater solo like the 2/24/73 version. Only a couple months away and the resurrection of this tune starting up.

About as fine as a version you'll get. This one is absolutely soaring. 3/20/77 second solo like. I mean just listen. It's inspired big time!

Ripping version as are most from 70. First half of the tune is the Mickey and Billy Show. Second half is all screaming Garcia leads... Smokes!

That's great 'alwaysgrateful'! Glad you enjoyed this version. There's a reason why they picked this one during "30 days". I downloaded it and listened to it on the ride to work one day. I had to listen to it twice it was that good! 20 plus years of listening to this music and it never ceases to amaze.

This tune was just icing on the cake after the intensity that preceded it a la That's it for the Other One

Back in Nov 2010 they did "30 days of dead" on dead.net and let you download a mystery tune a day. This version was the one they picked. Absolutely stellar!
