One of the craziest, spaciest, and wacky versions you’ll ever hear

The final version from an epic China>Rider. Doesn’t get any better

One of the best versions of this song that Jerry did. There seems to be 2 guitar players on this track. Anyone have any info on that?

Kevin Tobin just put out a nice video of this Garcia/Kahn show with great audio. I didn’t know they played this one as a duo. Great version!

Surprised this version isn’t on here. Bobby’s vocals and playing are great, and Brent’s verse and solo really make this a top tier version

Nic trippy guitar from Bob, flashes of Bird Song from Jerry, bird sounds, 12 minutes of bliss

This show was always a favorite of mine, so I had to grab the box set. Sound-wise, it’s surprisingly full and well balanced. Performance-wise, it speaks for itself. Some of the most harrowing yet beautiful playing from Jer

Real standout from the new Dave’s Picks. Jerry is shimmering, great Bob and Phil interplay/synchronization in the jam. Last version until the 90s, went out with a bang!

Beautiful solo, one of Jerry’s best on this song. Hard to believe this is an almost 3 year bust-out, it’s played to perfection!

The new Seamons matrix really brings this version to life. A total group effort, but Jerry & Brent are extra present on this version. Edges out 9/2/83 for me, another top version from this year
