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.

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

This is my all time favorite. A beauty start to finish

It's actually crazy how there are no 73 jack straws above this. Lol every single jack straw from 73 is better than any post 74.

Dear god this is awful. This dicks picks might be the worst released dead show ever. This whole show is a sloppy mess. And the setlist is laughable. What was Dick thinking?

I prefer the earlier versions but this one is great for 91.

70 and before versions are much better. Personally don't think the tune works like this.
