The Bear tape is a bit over-saturated, but the band is just killing it from all corners. Don't pass this one up out of aud-o-phobia.

Look for the Bear recording, which is the proper speed: You'll find a killer version with an explosive transition than just soars.

Jerry's diamond hard-edged tone slices and slashes achingly, hauntingly, and clear desperado mode.

Just Jerry, Phil, and Bobby are audible in this weird tape - but what a study of their communication. Worth a listen for that alone.

Channels missing in the SBD (no keys, quite vocals), but if you want to study just Jerry's solo, (and it's a killer one), then give this a spin.

Churning and swirling, it grows and grows like a dynamo wheelspinner.

The AUD patch at the beginning doesn't remove one iota of this version's enormous musicality and brilliance. Towards the end it sounds like everyone is playing in a different time signature yet moving forward with the grace, fun and bounce specific to the song's unique pulse. Wonderful.

Inventive and flowing with perfect ensemble mindflow. Never gets old. One of the great greats.

Fuckin' double posts. I'm sorry. But really young heads dig deep into the good old GD on this one.
