This song is the golden warmth of a summer evening. This one is slow, warm perfection

There are some glitches in this recording (?) but there’s something so sweet about this ‘71 version

So much emotion in this one...

Every ‘76 LLR is heady, this one no exception. I’m also a fan of Donna’s additions to LLRs
The Other One

Auditorium Theatre

The aforementioned jam around 10 minutes in is ethereal. It seems to transcend even music and exist only as emotion and expression. For it to drop into a cowboy tune may just be the epitome of the Grateful Dead. Do yourself a favor and listen to this if you haven’t.

Auditorium Theatre

This version (especially Billy’s playing) is hypnotizing.
