Let It Grow
Tighter and a wee bit faster than the previous night's debut, played with more confidence and just exactly perfect.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
China Cat is a slow, bumpy, and chaotic mess, quickly ended. Follows a beautiful Feeling Groovy and long Rider. Good to see the boys quick recovery!

Looks Like Rain
OMG!!!! This may just be the the best. Only downside is a brutal cut at the climax of Jerry's solo during the bridge...but this is still a must hear!

Greatest Story Ever Told
I dig this one, Garcia plays some longer, watery lines that get the job done in a satisfying way

Row Jimmy
Wonderful version, everyone in the band is in sync on this one. Love the harmonizing vocals in particular

One More Saturday Night
Billy really makes this one -- some very cool snare and hi-hat work starting just before 2:00!

Ramble On Rose
Jerry and Bob are both really good on this one. Phil and Bill drive it forward nicely as well -- doesn't drag at all like some do.
