Outrageous version. Takes a second to get the mix dialed in, but man they blow the roof off. This has to be one of the best Wall of Sound shows.

Dick's Picks 22 anyone?? 68 tone is honestly incredible, and this is a perfect example

Grate version... listen carefully at the beginning you can hear Jerry yell "put your acid in!"

Respectfully disagree Grendel. I prefer subtlety and precision over energy/sloppiness.

Denver Coliseum

How does this only have 7 votes?? This might be my all time favorite other one without a full cryptical reprise. The mind left body jam is so good, Jerry's tone is off the charts, this whole show is one of the hidden gems of this tour. Incredible playing all the way through.

Winterland Arena

Beautiful version, though 9/27/72 will always deserve the top spot.
Brokedown Palace

Music Hall

Incredible version from one of the finest 3 night runs in GD history!
Brokedown Palace
March 26, 1990
Knickerbocker Arena

Have to strongly disagree with the header on this version, but it is a good 90s version.
