This is fantastic and should receive votes! On Download Series 7. Garcia's guitar is REALLY loud on the solo!

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.

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
