Smoking hot, how is this not one here?! Some great solos from Jerry, good bit of Keith in the middle. Comes out of a fast mamu, what's not to like!

Perfect version, lots of Keith, slow but doesn't drag

Aside from the vocal and instrumental flubs at various points, the pace is electric. Not heard many as fast as this, builds up to a great ending

Insanely good, my personal favourite - Jerry goes otherworldly. Scorcher

This and the one a year to the day are scorching.

Honolulu Civic Auditorium

This is outstanding, nearly 40 mins on DaP19. Never a dull moment, great rap including a random guest appearance for a few minutes from an unknown voice, not a dull moment despite its incredible length! Should get much higher now the full version has been released

Orpheum Theatre

Great version, especially for a standalone. Should be higher IMO

Raceway Park

As soon as I heard this I knew it would be at the top on here. Unbelievable jamming, full throttle for 20 minutes, this is the Dead at their best. Absolutely nuts. This has got to be considered one of their best versions of any song in their repertoire. It's that good.
