Mountain Jam

Grand Prix Racecourse

Not sure what constitutes a "Mountain Jam" but this is a jam in the mountain and it's fantastic stuff. Garcia soars w/ that '73 tone, Lesh is on fire.

Real nice groove to it throughout. Garcia comes in blazing with that stanky early 80s tone at start of the short jam. Fine one.

Fun cap off to a real good Red Rocks show. Phil sounded so good in the mix this entire show.

Decent one up until the jam, and Garcia comes in guns a blazing! The jam is awesome! Everyone sounds great.

Upvote!! This one is great. So sharp. Drums on point. Funkastic ending jam. Awesome keyboard fills. The whole shebang!

Also: the vocals are fantastic, especially at the start. Sounds like a mediocre high school choir, which is speaking highly of Grateful Dead vocals.

Wonderfully standard HCS. The end before the jam just a few seconds before the Askin' You Nice verse gets real cool, and that particular verse is so sharp. The bleed into Space is good, classic early 70s heady Dead jamming. No more, no less.
