Billy's doing some interesting stuff on the drums here! And excellent solo from Jer! Vocals too!

74 versions really captured the western tone well. Short and sweet.

Jerry calls for Bertha then proceed to royally flub the lyrics LOL. Solid bouncy version though.

Phil and Brent really escalate the dance party factor of this tune in later years. Great performance this night. Just sheer fun. Comes to awk end.

Weir suggests El Paso, which Garcia declines because they just played a cowboy song (MAMU). He gets his fill in a couple songs nonetheless. ‘72 was a great year for this beautiful song. Great one here.

Upvote. This one is remarkable. Great work by all.

Spot on! One of those many songs taken for granted. This one should be much higher. Tons of energy. Crowd reacts accordingly. Whatever effect Garcia used at the start is unique. Can’t remember if I’ve heard it in a MAMU. Maybe even an accident.
