One of the best played versions from one of the best played shows in the Brent era---ever.

15+ minutes of funk w/extended overlapping vocal rounds of "just gotta poke around", etc. before jam Brent adds cool "fuzzy" SFX

Check out Keith on this one! He's never been so up front before & right outta the gate!!

Peppy early version w/Jer belting out lyrics & Pig doin' some nice work on organ. No archive copy exists; got this off 30 Days of Dead-worth the DL!

Super-charged EARLY Brent version rips and tears and shreds. Final jam before the coda is the best they ever did in this tune. Goes to 11.

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,
