Probably should be represented, Jerry seems to remember the words which sets it a cut above right there; small cut though

Beautiful solo; all else being equal that's what matters most...

Excellent version, and sung well--best "I cut hickory just to fire the still" delivery ever

Very clean, smooth, and well-played. Others have more fireworks, but this hits a particular spot.

This is an incredible second set, but I'm flabbergasted that this ranks #1. It's very slow, and Garcia screws up the verses AND the vocal outro. The instrumental outro is nice, and it's not a bad version overall, but #1? For a sleeper, check out 1973-02-19....

I have to go against the consensus here. This one is indeed great, but I don't think the song had heated up to where it would be yet in Spring 1977. I do like the May 26th Baltimore version better than this....for even better ones, try 1979-11-06 and 1982-04-06...

In general I prefer the dirty versions featured by late era JGB to the smooth 70s renditions, but Jerry gets just naughty enough here to make this a standout
