Stunning version. Sung with lots of passion, and during the solo, Jerry lets Wolf run loose and lets her howl. Great version from a great show!

Dionysian style jamming. A beautiful and spacey gateway into the deepest and darkest parts of the cosmos that the band have explored up to that date, imagine the minds blown in Montana that day? Great version from one of my favorite shows.

Super fluid. Poignant guitar playing that’s pure liquid diamond. Great early version that flows so nicely. Short and sweet and perfectly psychedelic. This ones actually really good.

So good. A jaunty and jangly, one of my favorite versions that swings and sways like the psychedelic carnival ride it embodies so well. Such a beautiful sound.

This one is genuinely amazing, just from a song standpoint, this one is played with such passion and is damn near perfect in terms of execution. This one really captures the essence of the song, sure it's not Pembroke, but don't pass it up by any means. One of my all time favorite shows.

A tornado, Im feeling Big River today and this one is up there with the best of them. Captures the jangly bluesy feel of this song so perfectly. Rootin’ tootin’ version that’ll have you two stepping in no time.
