Sometimes shorter is better. At around 10 mins. this beauty from E'72 packs the jazz, jam, passion. Like a more intense version of the one on ACE!

No clean SBD on archive but at official Dead site a pristine version was on 30 days of Dead for DL. 2d best stand-alone I've heard next to 3-20-77

DP Vol. 29...Each time I think I've heard the best (i.e. 12/27/77) I hear one better. This is it. Flowing, gorgeous Jerry bridge jam. Perfection.

Proves the boys could really swing when they wanted to. Hear Jerry on "The Girl I Love" line; like 'Gator Alley--1980 a good year for this tune

Insane. Ridiculous. Drummers locked in, Garcia in take-no-prisoners mode. 16+ minutes of full-bore Rock to the G-D Roll.

After further review, this is the best one right here. Short but oh so funky. Just the slink-funk opening before they even sing a word is filthy. Great fun, solid, spot-on rendition. Hard to beat.

I'm convinced. Not the biggest fan of '74 WOS shows (mostly due to the tinny sound of the vocals from the mics they used) but this one is damn near flawless. Jerry is fully committed vocally and the mics take nothing away from his impassioned reading. Four star version with a power-jam-fanning ending.

Upping this because yes indeed, about 3/4 of the way in, the second jam section gets a groovy, faster-tempo version of the "Nobody's Fault" jam going and it is for certain that tune. Very cool. Nice gritty guitar intro to this one as well. Does not ultimately rock as hard as the incredible versions from the year before but while being slightly more mellow in the jamming this one is nevertheless always interesting and with the Nobody's Jam you can hear the seeds of experimentation with themes that would become even more pronounced and varied in 1979 (see 11/2/79 for a great example; '79 was probably the most underrated year of NFA ever.) This one also sounds better than ever in the July '78 box and really should be higher.

Yes, yes, and yes again. I'd say more but all I know is it needs to have at least 20 votes & is somehow not there yet.

The new Betty Board box set of July '78 gives this version the clean sounding spotlight it so desperately needed and deserved. Even among the scores of A+ versions of this tune (one they consistently did well in virtually all eras) this stands out for its extended, intricate, Garcia solo, slightly faster tempo, impassioned vocals and overall excellence. Should climb the ladder, and fast,
