From steal your face. This is pure bliss, Jerry's solo does something magic, the drums are pounding, Bob Phil and Keith all on fire!

Did I just die and go to heaven??? This is the epitemy of sugar magnolia. Gets my vote right away! Loved this one since the first time i gave it a listen thanks to this site. Do me a favor though and listen to 9-9-72. I am a sucker for 70's dead and I searched for 20 years for that unlabelled filler. finally found it, and after 20 years of searching for that filler on a tape that dissapeared it has grown on me and is still the best. if any sugar mag beats it, it can only be this one. great call.

Wow, these vocals are right up there with American Beauty!!!! Best harmonies you will ever hear from the best band on earth! Still searching for the best ever, and so ... no vote. This is right where it belongs huhumm... towards the top of the list. This rocks!!

This should be way higher on the list.....I am looking for that one unlabeled filler on that old maxell XL 90 min that i know was from 72. always come back to this show thinkin it was this, but it must have been a beeter source.....hmmmm in any case this one is top notch. I will definately vote this one UP!

Always Has been one of my fav's, The intro is Absolutely one of a kind. This version has a groove different from all others. it is quite different. I know there might be a better version out there somewhere, but it sure escapes me as of yet. there was one from 72 that i had on a casette as filler that beats this, but I have to find it ( that tape is long gone:-( ) This version is off the hook! when I find that 72 version I will try and vote for it twice. untill then, this one gets my vote. ps just found it 9-9-72
