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

This features the most massive chord ever strummed. The jam after the second verse will blow you to smithereens. After your mind is turned into a smoking crater you are cradled and rocked to tranquility by the most cathartic and beautiful stella of all time

I don't listen to too many drums but this one is great. The space here is the soundtrack to an alien abduction.

This version is so slept on. Listen to Keith build the tension, makes me feel like I'm running from the cops. The band is so locked in here I'm amazed this isn't farther up the list. All in the middle of an incredible EP>O1>EOTW. If you haven't heard this sequence or have written it off in the past please fix that ASAP. Spanish lady come to me

The weathered Jerry vocal makes this tune less silky but man this is a top shelf 80s rendition. Miller matrix has the perfect balance of crowd noise, which I think is partly what makes these later versions. Jerry is really choking some of these notes with his vibrato and it rulessssssss

Cannot stress enough how much I love it every time they nonchalantly re-enter the chilled out swagger of the verse after the monster first jam like it's NBD. Brent adds a lot of cool little fills to this song although I miss Donna's "firewheel." Jerry sounding really evil in the outro. Slick ass transition into terrapin (incredible, soulful terrapin) gave me the chills, A+ & upvoted
