Perfect 30 Trips version from a great show

Palace Theatre

Good 30 Trips version, particularly good due to the banter at the end of the song 'What would you do if we started shouting requests at you?!'

Palace Theatre

Particularly good contributions from Bill and Keith on this one, and Bobby and Jerry duelling solos at one point! Really swinging version

As good as any, changing the tone after a beautiful Brokedown, on fire to end a great show

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

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.
