Favorite version of Grateful Dead's Aiko Aiko?


I'm looking for a great version of this song. I heard a few great ones a long time ago but don't recall when they were recorded. Anyone here have a favorite?

There are different version by the Grateful Dead. When this song was first played by them it was a slow laboring tune, check out Rochester 1980....then during 1985, or so, they shorten and sped it up, usually opening up the first of second set with it. There are so many Iko's it is tough to say which is best. But being a Deadhead from way back, I'll check my collection and get back to you.
I was at that show and taped it from right behind the soundboard, center. That whole run was great.
