Hot, high-energy, uptempo version with some excellent drumming by Billy.

Plenty of emotion in this one. Jerry's vocal performance, particularly at the end, is awesome.

Brent is a huge factor on this stellar version, particularly near the end. Love this one, and shocked it's not listed already!

The Palestra, U. of Rochester
The whole rhythm section is locked in here. Billy and Keith sound particularly good. A good precursor to the rip-roarin' ones from the following year.

A fun one from the Dead's final show in my home state of Maine. The crowd's loving it. Great show all around.

A PERFECT early version, and a cornerstone of the new St. Louis box.

A FEROCIOUS version - this should have WAY more votes.

Vince's organ is really what makes this one for me. Great playing by him!

INCREDIBLE! This one is the cream of the crop and easily the best late-era version.
