The delivery of this one...passionate vocals, the kind we so often see in '78...That said, this might be the best sung of that year

Why we love this band. Every little new nuance in each version. Love the way Garcia sings, "Oh well the Touch of Grey.." and the way he pronounces it.

Should be WAAAAY higher on this list. You kidding me? One of the most soulfully sung 80’s versions out there!

Yes, his voice on this makes this special. It has soul…he’s telling the story like he’s the one from Bigfoot County..Have this in the disc player in the truck and have been digging it extra special.

This should be sitting at #1...WAYYYY more soul than 10/7. 2/18 only sits at #2 because it's the first version.
