Raw and raucous, this one packs quite a wallop for its size.

A mellow version featuring a rather unique outro portion for ’73. Truckin’>Eyes>Stella

One of those ‘I can’t believe it’s not here yet’s. This thing was forged from hot iron.

The satisfying conclusion of a good sequence. A sibling of 11/13/72.

Bobby is pretty good on this one. It's right after 'Promised Land'.

Maybe I'm just being a bit lazy of mind, but I don't think I've heard a version from '77 that tops this one.

A worthwhile version from the post-hiatus Godchaux years (none of that pensive timidity in the jamming). If you like Keith's keys from the 4/23/77 'Slipknot' you may want to check this one out, and vice versa.

Something a little too speckless about this one for me.

Wow, the first 15 seconds of this one on the Sick Bits matrix is super heady in a feel-good way. Awesome stuff, awesome 'Star.

Each of the Estimateds from July '78 serve up a sweet outro jam.
