An extremely beautiful version. Love Keith's piano on this one. On one of the best Dave's Picks (Vol. 3).

Show opener of the second show of a fantastic MSG run - what could go wrong? Answer: nothing.

Can't believe this one isn't on here! I've always considered the View from the Vault III version to be the best.

Dane County Coliseum

Spacey as hell! Disc 2 of Dick's Picks Vol. 18 is some of the best of 1978.

Cal Expo

The Victim > Crazy Fingers > Playin' segment from this show is the highlight of Road Trips Vol. 2, No. 4. Weird, dark, crazy stuff. The best '90s version of this song that I've heard by far.
Hell in a Bucket
March 26, 1990
Knickerbocker Arena

Definitive version. Nothing short of electrifying.
New Minglewood Blues
April 29, 1971
Fillmore East

Impossibly hot. Never heard anything close to this version. Bobby's vocals are killer, Pigpen is on fire, and the entire band is locked in!
