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!

March '81! And this is a GOOD ONE! Slow, Stoney vibe to it. Garcia's vocals sound Great! Relaxed, great delivery. This should be way up there on the list. Wow, I'm listening to this while I type this, so damn good. You can hear people going nuts in the audience through the soundboard....See, this is why I fucking love this band. Almost 38 years into listening to them and you always find unicorns!!! Go listen to this one!! Now!!!!
