Deal
Dec. 5, 1971
Felt Forum - Madison Square Garden

Jerry's solo is concise and powerful. All in all this version represents the prototypical way in which this song should be played. Not too quick, not too slow, and a nice bouncy country-rock vibe, really solid rendition here.

Agree with above statement, don't be dumb people! Check this one out, and while your at it listen to the whole show.

Song is also known as Muddy Water. This version is certainly on point. Don't know of many versions, but if anything this version should be listened by all who are looking for something new and a little different.

P.N.E. Coliseum

Underrated version that needs some more recognition. Jerry and Phil, as stated above, indeed play in and out of each other with some excellent jazzy interplay.

Evans Field House, Northern Illinois University

Easily one of the best versions ever played. Garcia provides an emotional performance, both instrumentally and vocally. The jamming is fluid, jazzy, and mysterious.
