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.

Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
Oct. 31, 1971
Ohio Theatre

Dick’s Pick Vol. 2- I remember an interview with Latvala talking about the transition jam, which comes after the “We bid you Goodnight” coda, which is unique and truly inspirational. Give it a listen, one of my favorites from ’71.

Winterland Arena

This is an astonishing powerful version, a highlight from a very good show on par with Springfield as the best GDTRFB from ‘77

The best I saw in the late 80’s, love the interplay between Garcia and Mydland, big smiles all around.

Dick’s Pick Vol. 20, great show, great Scarlet, this one should have more votes.

One of the last stand-alone Scarlet’s, this version is outstanding. All the power of ’77 in the final crescendo, harsh cut in the SBD that was posted on the Taper’s Section, some versions have the Aud source patched, try to listen to that one.
