Excellent version that includes Phil whirling the whole band into a frenzy. Chaotic jamming from a smokin' show

Althea
Sept. 13, 1991
Madison Square Garden

Worst show of the 91' MSG 9-13 run BY FAR. However, it must be noted that this Althea is indeed incredibly fun, wouldn't label it "best ever" as using that terminology is ludicrous most of the time (I slip into that sometimes, as does everyone). This Althea features some intricate filling by all, which provides a very almost experimental sound. Easily deserves the title of a barnburner and deserves more than two measly votes.

Orpheum Theatre

Unravels with a beautiful array of underlining fills and leads.

Surreal and polished, one of the best of the year

Cole Field House

The best post 73' version i've yet to hear. Trippy, swirling, and soaring jam.

Beautiful.....this song throughout 77' through 78' is just so good, this Englishtown version could be the best, but I cant call it that, I love too many versions, 4/16 is another favorite.
