Can't believe this isn't listed! Really massive verison with not one, but two slipknot teases. Jerry is on fire!!

May be the best of the early versions. Has that '73 bounce, but with something a little extra.

So very tender. Check out Jerry's beautiful solo during the bridge!

OMG!!!! This may just be the the best. Only downside is a brutal cut at the climax of Jerry's solo during the bridge...but this is still a must hear!

Oh yes!!! The BEST from '72 no doubt, won't argue with it being the definitive one either.

Underrated version from summer '74! A euphoric peak into the Feelin' Groovy jam
