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

They finally figured out the intro; the descending lick debuts here. Nice version, although it'll get 4 more times through the chords on the end jam on August 4th.

This is a really great one for sure, Garcia cuts loose

This is incredible. Weir does some wild stuff. As the previous says, the jam flows, and it builds and makes sense and all hangs together....a landmark version
