As is typical of this era of the band, Keith totally owns this version. I can't get enough of just how tasty his piano fills are here.

Opens set two with energy. Keith and Jerry duel it out the whole way through the song.

Love versions of this track from 72 and 73, and this one's no exception. Keith's piano is great, Jerry's playing with gusto, everyone's locked in.

Keith's gentle keys add SO much to this version - a very emotive rendition, just as it should be

A big showcase for Jerry's vocals - he's nice and aggressive here. Keith and Billy sound great as well backing him.

Keith completely takes over this version! Surprised it doesn't have more votes - it's the one from Dick's Picks 31.

Man, I love this one - it's uptempo and cheerful. A major highlight of Dick's Picks 30, for sure.

Everyone's playing great on this one, but listen to the DRUMMERS! They've got the perfect swing in their playing, it's wild. For me, the Rhythm Devils make this track an all-time great.

This one's the highlight of the filler on Dave's Picks 39. A fast but in-control version that the band really gets into towards the end.

A beautiful version from one of the last good shows. I actually like this version quite a bit better than the original by Dylan - it's got all the emotion of a rough year worn on Jerry's sleeve.
