Jeez louise !! This version shreds..makes you wonder where the band can go giving this much energy.Its #1 without a doubt..If only Bobby let Garcia continue soloing..whew!

Nice laid back groove with soulful solos from Garcia,strong vocals.Part of a very mellow set from a great show.
Terrapin Station

Swing Auditorium

Its nice to hear the first ever but this is far from its best incarnation..later attempts show how the song developed and matured into the live monster it became.Way better Terrapins to be heard.
