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

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!
