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.

The sbd source is good, the aud source is better, but the matrix source is choice - best of both worlds. Check it!

Tonight's version has never been a favorite of mine, but I can tip a hat to its daring and artistic achievements.

From an epic show! This Playin' suite is raw funk-jazz-rock fusion at its dirtiest. Not for the faint of heart or timid of mind! Sublime stuff here.
