X factor jamming with Garcia playing some unique soaring leads in the modal scale. Ending jam has similarities to a strong version on 10/12/83.

This is what all Morning Dews should sound like. Spectacular final crescendo. One of the better Dews of 73'

Fillmore East (Late Show)

This is a real smoker, and vocals are top-notch. The whole early show is worth checking out.

They hit this out of the park. Each instrument clicks, and there is clear communication between instruments. Rocking and powerful version. Definitive.

These guys were on fire this whole show. But during this song they kick it into a new gear and pour it on like this was the last time they were ever going to play the song.
