Admittedly not a favorite tune for me but this is super crispy - laconic delivery by Weir w/ Jer's picking and tone perfection. Whole show is massive.

Playfully different melody here really cool Jer is sporting very catchy phrasing - mid tempo no hurry super chill with highlights.

Solid take with nice Jerry backup howls while Bobby yodels.

Smokey, sneaky slow burner with the added Ginger says verse ... locked in tight groove.

‘71 is an all round killer year. This tune never failed to deliver whatever inner reflection the band was transmitting much the same as PITB would as well thru the years. But for my dollars mostly ‘72 back to origins is where the devil’s work was best done.

Good '71 medicine here. One of my favorite years for just how dangerous they...feel. The cosmic voyages within this year appeal to me more than many of the later years. Check 11.14 and the ride into MAMU - yeehaw.

With almost a ‘50’s vibe happening at certain points this one is soooo tasty and satisfying with Jerry in the zone.

One of those versions where the whole band goes fully HAM together- energy abounds. Tks DS - we have similar taste. And yeah, that silde back into NFA is special.

House band at the Ok Corral right here - and an encore verison! Jerry is hollerin' and FEELIN' it....great Keith showcase. I came for the GDTRFB (why? cause it's dirrrty good) and stayed for the Rose. Not nearly one of my fav tunes ( I much prefer BEW) but this version cannot be denied.
