Talk about a sleeper...along with the "PITB" before it, this is probably the last time the Grateful Dead really went the distance in terms of jamming.

Searing work from Brent in a typically strong 1989 version. Surprised this was represented from a legendary show.

Creepy crawly version with lots of different themes and moods just like all good Spaces.

Not exceptionally long but still a very good version. Phil's great here.

I love this version. Which they kept it like this.

What a trio! Must've motivated to Bobby to grab the spotlight back with the kickass TMNS that followed.

Powerful version that could use a few more votes. Jerry's voice is strained and cracks a couple of times, but he's giving it his all and the guitar work is excellent, Phil's also all over this one.

First one since 1987, and honestly one of the better ones I've heard. Amazingly beautiful, everyone's together for this one.

Jerry had some tech issues in this first set, that's probably it's not as widely known. But the whole band is really on.
