Jerry and Pigpen sing together in this one, and they brought the passion!

High intensity, coming in hot after a hot Caboose jam.

Powerful version. The vocal entrance at the end brings the house down, you can tell they're having fun; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gjjkcVIoys

Bob goes for it in the rap and Garcia smiles a bit. A fun latter day version, though it never jams out like mad. Video of it here! https://www.youtube

Caution

After the "mojo hand" breakdown, they lay out this insanely addictive jazzy jam, similar to the 4/17 Caution. Amazing version, top 5.

Veneta isn't 70+ votes better this version, far from it. Upvote this people; and fasten your seatbelts!

The Hofheinz 11/18 version is a more spacey and "out-there" version. This one is focused, but you really notice something extra inhabiting the gang this performance, as with the rest of the concert the song has this magical, dreamy sound to it. Is it Jerrys guitar tone? Bills amazing drum work? The general atmosphere? Anyways, amazing version, definitely a top 5.
