Absolutely outstanding Garcia, a couple moments made my jaw drop

I dig this one, Garcia plays some longer, watery lines that get the job done in a satisfying way

Just listen to the Wolf--funky, dirty, sort of countrified--a unique and powerful version

This is an intense and great rendition, great Garcia leads

Not perfect, but beautiful nonetheless. Jerry remembers most of the words and plays killer leads.
The Other One

This is indeed vicious. Note that Jerry and Phil aren't in agreement where the One is on the opening jam, and Weir comes in with the vocals I think where the others didn't think they were, but none of this derails it; somehow they do all that smoothly. This has to be taken as a whole with the preceding Space.

Great, this really is de facto part of Other One, has to be taken as a whole (although I wouldn't always listen to all 11 minutes of Drums!)

I love this magnificent version, although I'm not sure why it's the consensus #1, there are other contenders
