Awesome. Very elongated solo and some nice verse flourishes

Not going to dethrone Veneta by any means but still a worthwhile spacey, concise, chilled out rendition. Some nice melodic chord jamming from Garcia.

Was surprised to see this wasn't already here. Phenomenal solo from Jerry and some beautiful cascading keys courtesy of Keith

Very subdued but staccato sounding solos if that makes any sense, pretty standardly great 78 version here

Jed!!!! I absolutely agree with you!! I love that Great American HSF. It's hard not to like it! But I also feel like it has no personality-- it sounds very "default." I'm not knocking it by any means, if someone puts it on I'll be grooving, but it definitely lacks that x-factor. I'm just getting around to checking out other versions of HSF and this one is really doing it for me. Dusborne matrix is bangin

Everyone should check this one out! The solo sections are almost free-form in a way in that Jerry is sort of just doing whatever he wants, and it makes for a unique version. Should have way more votes than the 3 it has after adding mine.

Always love Jerry's passionate, sweet intro soloing on this tune. Veneta is probably the best example of it

Nutty. That's all I can say about this one

Jerry's intro solo on this one smokes, and Keith adds a lot of pretty little fills. Can never get enough of this song
