really odd transition the Jerry reverses headlight verse with Bob's Back door verse. Don't think it was intentional but added to the uniqueness

Real nice one open to close but note Jerry burst? during Scarlet in song jam. Slight brain melt down waiting to happen..FUN

The Mosque

This is a very generic version for the time (good one don't get me wrong) almost devoted directly even time wise between the two. The sparks really fly when Bob cuts off Jerry during first part of Other One..probable favorite Dead 45 minutes> Jerry's pissed and then turns in best wheel of all time

Longest yes best might still be Cornell as definitive version...but this is my favorite has all the goodies with Bob and Jerry trading whale noise and Bob wah-wah stetch mid way. Half way through Fire you're left breathless if not a Dead fan at that point ain't ever going to be.

There is no better version..period. First ever is phenomenal many great ones but the feeling and grace no other compares. note Keith's trills whole thing is epic start to close.

If nothing else Jerry mimicking Bruce during jam and the trade off is unbelievable Great energy.
