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'

Furious jamming! Jerry sure is cooking as the kids say nowadays. My friend is doing research on the Doors and the Dead played a show with them on this same date at the Fillmore later that evening. Thankfully, that led me to this gem

The whole sequence is really, really good but I find this piece of it a little sluggish after the intensity of the Dew>Playin preceding it but maybe it had to be, This second set is growing on me as a whole though

This breaks down into such an amazing fusion style jam ala Return to Forever or someone at their absolute best

This is a rollicking freight train rendition with killer vocals from Bobby and an absolutely insane solo from Jerry at the end. Give it a rip

Silky smooth and soulful all around.
