How so badly I wish he could just dust off those old rusty strings just one more time!

The Centrum

A sweet first set opener that they don't seem to want to let got of. The jam at the end just carries on nicely and keeps building.

This was the first version I heard sung by someone other than Merle Haggard. It's been my favorite version ever since.

Great version out of what can only be describes as a weird set. Stand alone Fire in the first set? Cryptical>Other One after The Wheel?

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.

Fillmore West

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

Dream Bowl

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

Alpine Valley

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