Jerry's sweet voice is extra sweet & clear during the chorus for this version than the ones from October, 1980.

Monster Mason's. Can't believe this one isn't here yeat. Cleanest, most coherent version. Jerry's guitar tone is pure gold.

Kiel Auditorium

Sandwiched between a dreamy Dark Star. Not the definitive version perhaps, but it belongs in the discussion.

Can believe this one isn't already here! A beautiful version from one of the top five shows ever played.

Near flawless version from a near flawless tour. The whole band is locked in on the home stretch here, and keith is hammerin' away on those ivories..

The sbd source is good, the aud source is better, but the matrix source is choice - best of both worlds. Check it!

Tonight's version has never been a favorite of mine, but I can tip a hat to its daring and artistic achievements.

From an epic show! This Playin' suite is raw funk-jazz-rock fusion at its dirtiest. Not for the faint of heart or timid of mind! Sublime stuff here.
