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"

By all accounts, this is a rather goofy song, but i love this version. Entire show is spot on

Great call, cgarces. An incubator, early phase Playing, that hits the cosmos quickly. Great energy!!

Haha, nice, cgarces! I plan on posting 2,318 versions of 'crowd noise.' The race is on... But seriously, how/why did art become a competition?

May not be note perfect, but the build, the tension and release, and the massive finish make this one really special. Jerry is fanning the flames hard at the ending. Perfectly paced throughout

Great call on the Spectrum version, '67 - very confident effort from the boys. Jerry and Brent are especially dialed in. The end jam drips slowly into measured madness before sliding into Terrapin. Props
