When I Paint My Masterpiece

Sam Boyd Silver Bowl

Right after the "eating candy" verse, you can hear the band find the pocket and really tear thru the rest of the song. My favorite!

I like the one drummer versions from 72-74 better than any that came after. Upvoting this so at least one of these will be near the top. Jerry and Keith are on fire!

The version that got me into this song. I love checking out other versions, but haven't found its equal yet.

I had this on a tape back in the day. For my brother and I, this is the best one. I am shocked it is ranked this low. Easily top 5 version. There is a jam in there that might be the coolest jam I've ever heard them do. Just stunningly good.
