Hot one!! Brent lays down some nice stuff, Bobby’s slide is… a thing. Then Garcia puts in some work!

Weir insists it’s time for another cowboy song. “This one rose straight to the top of the charts, of course we didn’t do it” great, consistent one

Donna lets out the most insane scream I’ve ever heard and the crowd goes wild lol. Fun one with harmonica action

One of those “surprised not to see this here” moments. A short, less soaring one than many this period, but fun nonetheless

Nice but I really wish I understood why this is voted #1. It's consistent and conservative where, in my view, a Terrapin should be searching and soaring

I’ve listened to this version so many times. Gorgeous for sure. Just never understood why it’s voted #1. Hasn’t ever quite latched me in like some of the others voted on a little further down the list. 6/26/74, 11/2/77, 4/29/71, and 11/6/77, 4/6/82 come to mind.

Not the best. Doesn’t quite the capture the feeling of this song. But Lordy this version is something special. That last jam is incredible!
