I typically find the post '72 versions of this song to be a bit of filler, but this one has some nice accents from Keith and some ramp-up ending chaw

Albuquerque Civic Auditorium

Relatively short, given later incarnations, but this one has wonderful energy behind it, deliberate playing, and a delicate finish

Completes the Eyes > Wharf > Sug Mags triumvirate and this track is not simply an afterthought to cap off a hot show - i'm pretty sure Jerry blasts laser beams out of his fingers during a flurry of mid jam notes in this one. It truly slays

Excellent post and comment. This one is brimming with catharsis. It soars

Phil is a beast on the deep end. Band is locked in. Great version!

That one blew my hair back, HVD. They come out blazing, then slow it down, and tighten up with a really creative, upbeat jam. So choice. Definitely going to spin the rest of the show now!

Oh man, this one is incredible! Excellent calypso-type jam in the middle. Quickly vaulted to a favorite version!
