The Setlist website says that it is. For the first time out they did a swell job.

I just stumbled upon this version and I agree that it's a nice jazzy take. When Branford was able to come in add his saxophone it always added a nice twist to the song.
Big Railroad Blues

Boise Pavilion - Boise State University

I don't listen to BRB too often but this is a nice version of the tune.

As I presume many people know, this tune is on the album Postcards of the Hanging: Grateful Dead Perform the Songs of Bob Dylan. They picked a good version of the song for the album.
