Triumphantly played with the great chunk a chunk ending...

Dire Wolf
Rollicking Version...Garcia's solo break make this one shine...Happy and upbeat for a song that state's "Don't murder me"

The Music Never Stopped
Beautifully heady mid-section jam. 4:52-5:01 really gets to me for some reason
11
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Another hot carlet Fire from 1978 not as long as some, cool transition and check out Bobby at the beginning of Fire.

Climbs, builds, jumps off and soars

He's Gone
solid all around version, what really makes it wonderful is the flourishes Jerry puts on the intro and middle solo.

Sugar Magnolia
Really great, lovely extended intro thx to Jerry. Everyone is on point and is a nice transition from the beautiful Comes a Time that preceeded it
