I feel like I heard hendrix's version a million times so I never really gave the Daed's version much time. This is bonkers! Bobby randomly goes off...

Raggedly glorious vocals from the man matched only by crystal clear soloing

Jittery, dark industrial soundtrack vibes on this one. Love it

Laid back version with some really nice fusion style jamming. Doesn't had for deep space, but segues beautifully into a nice 'Uncle John's Band'

I've noticed such a divide on this song. It's interesting. I'm in the middle, which is rare I guess. I like this version a lot. Jerry and Brent nail the chorus so hard. So ragged and dusty in the most incredible way possible

This is grimy! The Dead showing they could be the blooziest whenever they choose to

This really heats up! Not my favorite song, but this version rips

Wow. Stunning version. The dynamics are so on point, as others have noted. I love the organ accents. They add so much texture.

The solo at the end is brilliant
