Latest Dave’s Version is solid. Slower than some versions but very bluesy and Pig is at his best

Interesting song and show. Not a good recording and not the best show but worth a listen. Honky Tonk Women? From NFA on, it sounds like the Dead.

Just listened for the first time in a long time. Since I would have listened on cassette. This is an excellent version. It doesn’t have the peaks of some of the other 77 versions and not quite as smooth as the 73 versions but definitely solid. The last few minutes of this may be unmatched.

I haven’t heard this yet. Will take a listen. I don’t have Road Trips but can download the torrent.

Should be higher. I was at 2 shows with a higher version and this is better.

This should be number 1. Just happened to look again. Now it is number 1.
