This NFA motors and the GDTRFB is a solid outing, save for some significant caterwauling from Donna Jean

Great god almighty now - this is a mad percussive version that leads into a beautiful open jam. Very unique

The Eleven

Fillmore West

For me, this is the definitive version. Several movements in jamming, and the psychedelic jazz at the ending is pure fire. Love this one.

Coincidentally, i also spun this yesterday and yes, this is spacey, but maintains coherency. It doesn't dissolve in cacophony, and stays fluent, focused, and psychedelic throughout. Certainly a very worthy versions and the following Wheel is choice taboot!
The Music Never Stopped

The Spectrum

Jerry's solo in the middle is magnificent. His series of descending notes are wonderful, then strong gallop to a peaky, fan-y finish. Not the tightest version necessarily, but a goodie for sure.

Uni Dome, U of Northern Iowa

The initial solo is instant Jerry touches with spine tingling results.
