An explosive reading of the tune. Maybe Billy had an inkling beforehand and just wanted to be sure ya'll knew it was still a cowboy number.

A very nice 'lush' version nominated in the ongoing attempt to evaluate all of Dick's picks.

Proud and upstanding part of a great sequence. Phil is at the top of his game in one of his greatest of bass-playing years.

County Coliseum

This is most notable, I'd say, for the absolutely nuclear bomb that Phil drops during the 'Space' portion. Play it loud on a big rig!

Yep, funky and it's nice listening to Jerry dance around the 'Wolf's neck.

One of the reasons why anyone who says '78 was a high water mark for this tune won't be bundled in a knot.
Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication
July 5, 1978
Omaha Civic Auditorium

Much better than its current 5 votes would suggest.
Sugaree

McNichols Arena

That'd be one nice graph, DS67
Dark Star
Sept. 16, 1972
Boston Music Hall

Every bit as commendable as the others from this month. The sonic data on the Sick Bits matrix captures this version well.
