They attack this one with a rare level of energy and precision. Nice showcase for Pig on Organ too.

Keith and Bobby absolutely crush it, setting up a white hot solo from Jerry to kick off a brilliant show.

Keith plays some beautiful, inventive lines as the song moves into its bridge. While Keith's contributions may be the main reason I upvoted this version, the vocals are also strong.

Disagree with the characterization by FreedomHaul, this is full-band cohesion at its finest. Everyone is actively creating the space that Garcia then maximizes. Lovely version

Not quite as rich in content as the Pigpen versions, this rare standalone version has a unique character that makes it worth seeking out.

Luxuriously mellow. This one almost feels like a hybrid of '76 and '77 Dead.

Really nice version. Jerry's solos are full of ideas, each executed capably, and the band seems to find a current of energy largely missing from the set up to this point.
