Early formulation. Very raw, almost demo-like.

Finale of a hard rocking post-space second set. Played with passion. Definitely Heady

A really lovely version into a nice Eyes. A Dave's Picks hidden gem that will certainly move up the charts now.

Such a lovely Keith-flavored version. I wish they all had this vibe.

Lovely, sweet vocals. Clear as a bell and with just the perfect amount of pathos. He holds his vocal notes just an extra beat longer and some nice Brent contributions in the back half. The drums come in hot after a nice NFA. A really nice version

This one should get more upvotes after DaP47. A compact, menacing NFA. Glad I found it.

Wonderful He's gone. Both laid back and jammy. This second set alternately has some beautiful soft moments and some cooking rock and roll.
