Sandwiched between a dreamy Dark Star. Not the definitive version perhaps, but it belongs in the discussion.

Can believe this one isn't already here! A beautiful version from one of the top five shows ever played.

Near flawless version from a near flawless tour. The whole band is locked in on the home stretch here, and keith is hammerin' away on those ivories..

Tight, inspired, rockin'. Best of the Euro '72 run. Give it some love, folks!

One knows from Jerry's opening vocals "cost a lot to win" sung with extra twang, that it's gonna be rockin' with that good county, funky vibe.

Ditto to jonesbaron. Jerry brings his full gusto & swagger on this number! Not for the faint of heart, folks.

Not as balls out jammed like it would become over the next couple years, but it is the cleanest, near perfect version I've heard.

Silky smooth goodness. A tighter version I've yet to hear.

Have your Handkerchief ready! A deep, powerful, emotional version.

Love this version. Jerry treats us with his country twang side in full order for this number.
