As far as these pre-August 74 versions go, pretty darn good; certainly far better than Veneta

Not the all-time best but surely deserves to be on the list

Jerry only goes around three times on the second solo. You could say this about two of the best versions, though--July 1 1973, and this one.

More concise than some of the immediate previous. Tight, energetic, and essential. Somehow Garcia subsequently forgot they'd ever played the song.

Amazing version. As for the Cornell talk above, that's not even in the top 20.
