Great dynamics, great energy, great group mind. The breakdown before the guitar solo has some extra snap in it I haven't heard in another version.

Gorgeous, building, country-twang guitar solo.

Chaotic carnival psychedelia at its best.

I guess it just shows how many great Dark Stars there are, but that this only has 3 (now 4) votes is weird. It's a pretty mellow version, but so ON all the way through, and the near-silence after the vocal section is like a starry night. And it's topped off with a majestic jam. Just a beautiful version.

I'm not much of a WRS fan in general, but it really works here. The sung parts are delivered with patience and balance, giving everything its time; everyone's in sync, Jerry and Phil are ON, then you've got a percolating jam... love it.
