hard to believe this big beast hasn't been tagged yet: Experimental, interesting, and at 23min, a nice long ride.

Only the 2nd one they played after it went into circulation, and it conveys all the emotion and poetry of this wonderful song. Sing something Phil!

For a song notoriously difficult to pull off live, this one is just beautiful. Succinct, harmonious, deliberate: All good, in spite of AUD quality.

Great transition into Rider here. Really strong '72 ensemble playing. Sound quality is only about a B though.

Solid heady version with a great build-up. Sound is only B quality though.

Shows that the Dead could turn any song they wanted to into vast sonic explorations of their own musical cosmos. I don't say "favourite" or "best", because I can't define these terms), but damn though it's one sweet nice ride, this one.

Gets hotter and hotter for nearly 15 minutes of bliss.
