Why we love this band. Every little new nuance in each version. Love the way Garcia sings, "Oh well the Touch of Grey.." and the way he pronounces it.

Trippy underwater solo like the 2/24/73 version. Only a couple months away and the resurrection of this tune starting up.

About as fine as a version you'll get. This one is absolutely soaring. 3/20/77 second solo like. I mean just listen. It's inspired big time!

Ripping version as are most from 70. First half of the tune is the Mickey and Billy Show. Second half is all screaming Garcia leads... Smokes!

I 've tried to listen to this one a few times, especially on the new Dave's Picks. I don't know, I don't think it's as good as others. To me it doesn't get to that level. I'm just spoiled by 8/6/71 I guess. I also tend to pull towards that 12/28/69 version. Usually not into the sound of those '69 ones but that one is raw and rocking.
