Not normally a huge fan of this live, but it gets really hot in the last few minutes. So good

30 Days of Dead 2016 - as good as any, great sound quality and vocally tight. Great early psychedelic Dead!

Orpheum Theater

Mammoth 10 minute version, great jam in the middle, worth a listen. Brilliant way to end the perfect second set

Nothing to say that hasn’t been said already, this absolutely SMOKES!

Oakland Auditorium

Just have to comment again about how this should be top 5 comfortably, even top 3 - only versions rivalling this are 4/24/78 and 2/3/78. Raw energy, keeps me coming back for more

P.N.E. Coliseum

Yes this is one of the worst vocal mishaps I've ever heard (and that's saying something with this song!) but goes places afterwards and only adds to the uniqueness for me. End jam is great

Edmundson Pavilion

This deal went down. One of the best early Deals I've heard
