the FADED version! sick brent synths and groovy phil/drums/bobby behind Jerry's stoned-sounding vocals. Best one I ever heard.

Crazy this wasn't submitted yet. Awesome slam back out of space into the end jam. Vince plays his fucking heart out

Truly awesome version, for any year. Shows how spacey they were in 95, in a good way. The jam floats forever with beautiful spidery playing from Jer.

Strong version especially for the time. Jerry tears the mid solo to shreds! Definitely worth a listen.

Very strong version, fantastic jam with jerry reaching incredible peaks. Cassidy really reached new heights from 83-89.

Super powerful version, very strong out solo, Jerry was really present and on it for this one. Shouldn’t be missed.

Always want to find versions that aren’t 77 to upvote, but man, may 77 really was the banner month for this tune. Aching and beautiful each and every version, and this ones no exception. Love how sweet and tender Jerry played the solos in may before his tone changed when he switched to wolf in the fall.

Pretty hot outro and Jerry doesn’t miss a lyric. Nice one.

Jerry didn’t play a bad version of this song, but I’m pretty sure this one is the best. His voice is just aching and perfect.
