This is a good version and I really like the tone on Garcia’s guitar during the solo and great closing vocals. Give it a listen.

The first live version needs to be on this list, very well sung by Garcia and well played. They didn’t play this song enough.

“Thought I heard a young man” lines are just off the charts, Garcia giving every ounce. Give it a listen

If Sept ’87 MSG is most people’s favorite version, (at least the most votes for a 80’s version) than this version needs to be recognized.

Another great vesion from ’71 with a unique transition jam after the “We bid you Goodnight” coda, this time into JBG.

Glad this one is in the top three, it surly is the most listened to version, being on Live Dead. It’s great to have it in the context of the show now, always love the transition from Mountain on the Moon> Dark Star.
Satisfaction

RFK Stadium

This was the only time I saw anything like Weir’s band introduction, and then Jerry chiming in with “One of my favorite people in the whole wide world, Mr Bob Weir!” It is a classic moment in a not well played show and has my vote as a top Satisfaction. I have had this tape since the show, on the D5scott version at archieve.org the Yea! Yea! when they decide to play Satisfaction is me.

Glad we can agree, if there is a better one, with Jerry having more fun than this version, I need to hear it.

Ya, my levels went through the roof, Powerful version even without the "divine" intervention.

This one would be voted much higher if we had a better tape. The sweat was dripping of the ceiling, 2 for 2 with Binghamton Truckin's
