Worthy, discursive version from an amazing month.

Jerry just attacks this one (vocally too) right from the outset. I love summer '89.

Lively version, practically rollicking!

As focused and energetic as the rest of the show, Jerry plays with the phrasing of his solos without missing a beat.

Another noteworthy '77 version. Listen for Jerry's melodic lines over Bob and Donna's vocal coda.

Oh my god!!! This performance is absolutely competitive with the other greats from ’77! Audio quality is the only reason it’s languishing down here with just three votes. The AUD’s really not bad, though, and this is well worth hearing.

Intense, heartfelt, and beautifully sung by all. One of the better late ’70s versions I’ve heard.

Red Rocks Amphitheatre

Phil’s bombs, Bobby’s harmonics, Brent’s intricately darting runs, Jerry letting himself be drawn Out, finally Rhythm Devils-enhanced Space ... it’s all here. Wow.

Fresh and intriguing outro jam here! Don’t just listen to the S>F.

I am not surprised to see this version at the top. I was really charmed by Brent's soloing in this, but the whole performance is very well done.
