HOT version, outro is a bit fast, in keeping with the entire era. But Jerry's leads are on fire, sounds straight outta 74

Really nice version. I think Portland 2 days later is better overall with a hotter transition, but this one is really great 74 version!

Philadelphia Civic Arena

I think this is a clear top 5 along with 6/26/74, 8/27/72, 11/11/73, 5/19/74 and if you told me this was the best of all of those, I wouldn't argue with you.

Excellent late version -- no it's not an early 70's version, but it's quite good and love how they were still pushing the sound and trying new things here. The midi is actually kind of cool coming out of space. This is the dead I remember seeing live.

The Spectrum

An all time version from an all time show. In my personal top 5, even though not top 5 here

Portland Memorial Coliseum

I can’t help but give this off the hook version some love. It’s spitting fire even though I think Donna was giving birth at the end and something unknown was causing Bobby excruciating pain around the same time.
