Hard rock outro makes this one jaw-clenchingly good. Jamming like that in 7/4 is just awesome.

Hard swaggering version from a sweet, if not often overlooked show capping off one of the great months in Dead history.

Jerry channels George Harrison like nobody's business. The solo at 2:45 gently weeps, guys. Check it out.

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.
