Great energy on this one. It seems Jerry has too pull back a little, he seems so excited. Only downside is Bobby not really growling the last line.

This has to be the best overall version from the Vince years. The boys are tight. Most true to the original The Band version.

This is the best version that I got to see live during the Vince years. Everyone is totally invested in the song. Great end to a great show.

Great ending to a great show. Jerry nails the lyrics, Brent leads the song, the crowd is totally into it. What more do you want?

I was just listening to this one today. It keeps building towards the end with a really nice Phil lead jam before it just explodes. Great call!
The Other One

Fillmore West

20 minutes of Lovelight>20 Minutes of That's It For The Other One>20 Minutes of Dark Star>20 Minutes of St, Stephen & The Eleven! Are you freaking kidding me? After that hour and a half (approx.), if you still had the energy or the mind capacity left to move, you're a better man than I.

Nice aggressive version. Much faster than most of the one's you'll hear. The boys seem to be really enjoying themselves though. My favorite version.
Mountains of the Moon
Feb. 22, 1969
Dream Bowl

This has to be the ultimate version. Jerry's voice coming in off the low volume start of the instruments. Amazing!
Dear Mr. Fantasy

Alpine Valley

The ultimate version where Brent lets go and just takes over the song.
