I think '71-'72 was probably the peak for this song...

Typically great '72 version, falling between a great "Tomorrow Is Forever" and an epic DS

Nice, brief one towards the end of a great DS

I've yet to find a bad one from '72...

Another excellent '72 version. Seems like this show is one of the most under-the-radar great '72 shows...

Jerry's voice certainly wasn't as enchanting in '84 as it was in '77, which matters for this song IMO, but instrumentally this version more than holds up!

Very slinky, sensual pace and vibe to this one. Prefer the famous versions from later in '71, but this one is very cool in its own right.

Listening on the American Beauty 50th Anniversary Deluxe...this one has a cool pulse to it!

Don't know why it double posted.

Seriously underrated IMO. This one really has that lysergic bubbling energy to it -- I rewinded to listen twice today!
