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?

The first time I heard this on tape, my friend made me give him my cassette and wouldn't give me the set list and made me listen to the show blind. I couldn't control myself. I don't know if this individual version is the greatest but this show, especially the end, is the best thing the boys ever put together.

2*13*70 Should be the starting point for anyone getting to the Dead. As far as I'm concerned it dominates Barton Hall.
headyversion loves the dead but is in no way affiliated with The Grateful Dead or affiliated enterprises. find out more >:) >:)
