SHOCKED this one wasn't mentioned yet. Even with the crushing cut out in the SBDs, this version still stands at the top

Very hot, tight jam segment. Song has the best lyric ever written: "Let your life proceed by it's own design"

Has some nice depth for a compact version. Not to mention the absolutely stunning UJB>P>UJB show opener call.

Beautiful version and a jaw dropping way to open a show! I love the introduction, ushering in the next 15 years of the Dead
