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!

Winterland Arena

A song that I feel was good in each part of its iteration. Jerry's solo in this version is quite accomplished and kinda goes outside in a sweetly melodic way, something that later in the decade he would maybe abandon in his solo on 'Bertha' but use on that in 'TLEO', albeit slowed down.
