I typically find the post '72 versions of this song to be a bit of filler, but this one has some nice accents from Keith and some ramp-up ending chaw

Relatively short, given later incarnations, but this one has wonderful energy behind it, deliberate playing, and a delicate finish

Very beautiful version. The jam is note for note perfect.

Oh man, this quickly vaulted to one of my favorite versions. Completely locked in playing, Billy driving the band, everyone is razor sharp. First MLB jam kills. Easily one of the more inventive and innovative versions. Deserves massive upvotes

Man this one is the goods! Great mellow, ethereal jam for the first 10 or so minutes, then a nice Lesh solo, into a popping Feeling Groovy jam.
