Users have designated the following versions as heady!

Intense build-up jam, perfect touch-down. Weir absolutely nails it. My favorite version all-time

Powerhouse. Garcia belts out vocals. Hear amazing riff of added notes in the main theme instrumental sections.Drums pound away as well.

Shocked this version isn't posted Garcia doesn't want to quit and the vocal harmonies are as good as it gets.

listen for the slipknot alone, another one that will melt your face off

First time played absolutely a surprise

First time played absolutely a surprise

Out of Space with a whistle start.... nice end jammin.

The audience lights up when Jerry sings "just like New York City"

Good Bobby singing. First LLR for east coast fall tour 83. Raining at MSG

Ends a great first set. Jerry is hot all night long

Ultra cool Jerry's leads sound like a drunk wobbling around.

Heartfelt version with great vox in the middle of a storming first set.

This one bounces, spins, and rolls through the waves rather well.

Injected with Weir’s idiosyncratic slide runs; then Jerry sends it around for another lap.

Absolute powerhouse. If you like the 83-84 sound, you need to listen to this.

Carries the momentum of the H/S/F prior, leading to a fast version with some great Jerry solos.

Sounds more triumphant than haunting, but that's not a bad thing. Excellent soloing throughout, with the final minute being particularly great.
