A perfect rendition and maybe best of May 77. Bob and Donna really harmonize well at end. This St. Paul show deserves more hype.

This hot version from St. Paul is from a very under-rated show that is better than Mosque show IMHO.

The vital cryptical reprise that climaxes like all the best crypticals do. Is it 2/13/70 or 5/2/70??? No, but its damn good.

Played a week before the 8/6/71 version, but super hot also. Both versions are a part of Road Trips Vol1-3.

Only about 8 mins, but some nice runs by Jerry in the middle. Worth checking out. Dave's picks#2.

This really is a sweet version...Healy adds the fake thunder as Bobby screams.

Had to throw this one in again...not for the faint of heart. Its pretty focused for the first 25 minutes and then you get finally the first verse. It then totally dissolves into chaos, but then at the 36 minute mark it has some cool focused jamming as it outros right into Eyes. Pretty amazing version. I still think Rotterdam is more complex, but this certainly is one that all deadheads need to respect.

Excellent stand alone version...real nice mid-jam and excellent outro into Eyes...WTF! That is why this site rocks...no idea this existed.
