Ive never heard a bad version of this song- Jerry and Donna Jean team up nicely on vox and Jerry plays a beautiful guitar throughout and it leads into a fierce playin reprise..

Another E72 gem,the Dead were in fine form for the whole tour and i have a special affinity for the English dates ,one of which was on my doorstep- Bickershaw festival, where they did Dark Star AND the Other One,nuff said.

Powerful yet haunting aswell, reminds me a bit of Mountains on the moon during the verses..gets my vote.
Playin' In The Band

Winterland Arena

This is by far my favourite long version of this song because its on the GD movie- i love watching all the sparkly eyed acid freaks at Winterland zoning out to this monster jam fest..Like the man says:there is nothing like a Grateful Dead concert..i guess there never will be..Each time i listen is like the first time,something different to be heard +1
