Very nice '83-version coming out of Space, which features an interesting jam into Playin' reprise. Bonus track on DaP 39.

Okay, so it's El Paso, but it sounds like Keith enjoyed the Big Sky 'cause this dude is ON throughout this show

Strange to not see this already on here. The boys are on (as they are throughout this legendary show). And listen to Billy!

This seems somewhat underrated for sure! Cool version.

I'm not completely sure, but it seems someone thinks Weir's funky chord work gives this version a different vibe.

Man, this version is pretty cool! Wah wah-playing from Bobby and Mickey adds some interesting percussion sounds (without being annoying). Sweet!
