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

Phenomenal. 8 votes? C'mon guys. The more I listen to '78 EPs the more I feel like this was one of their most consistently great songs that year; no matter how few votes these have they're just as great as 2/3 and 7/8. The outro here is a miasma of cosmic murmurs. Very ominous, very sinister. Incredible tonal dynamics from JG

Scorcher. Don't miss the DS from this show either. Underrated

Massive. It's all about Keith here

Great rec on this show guys. The close-ups of Jerry shredding deal and sugaree are priceless. This should be waaaay wayyyy up higher! Some of the licks in deal seem to have shades of the other one, anybody else hear that? Just totally on fire
