Nice early stand alone with a long intro. You can hear the transition from the old intro to the more familiar pickings of later versions.

Not really a darkness jam but more of a dark star jam than what it's listed as (PITB) leads into Wharf Rat & is beyond beautiful.

The boys really "throw a mess" on this one, making the carrier dome sound like a down and dirty old time saloon. Slinky sick stuff

Check out Jerry's "giddy-up" riffs in the final "Row" choruses!

Hot as the night in Texas on which it was played.

Very odd to me this doesn't have more votes. Bob's vocals are a little raspy but he doesn't push anything too far in trying to hit the high notes and the jamming is fire iron hot....Keith adds some delicious touches along the way ... there's really no reason for this version to be sitting in single digits

like this whole show--underrated

Should get a well deserved bump from the DaP50 release. Shame on me for not adding my vote sooner. Really excellent mellow flowing Terrapin

Ignore 7/7/89's ranking as #1--yes, it's a fine version--give it a listen and put it in your rotation, but having really gotten into this song lately THIS is the one. Bob's relaxed reading as the initial verses are sung is beautifully paced and timed on purpose to hold back for the latter half where he really lets loose in all his Bob glory and it's all nailed down tight In terms of flow, ease, & lyrical reading. There's also some fine instrumental breaks featuring great work by Brent and Jerry.... this really should be occupying the number one slot+. bonus points for Bobby wink-winking with the reading of the verse: "...and here I sit so patiently waiting to find out what price...you have to pay to get out of...going through all these things twice--TWICE.....oooooohhhMammma...." that's how ya give the nod to ol' Zimmer right there.
