2nd one ever, and doesn't flow perfectly yet. They're working out the lovely 3-part harmonies and it's just fantastic transitional Dead.

Sweetness in the '70 acoustic key. Confusing setlist/archive on this show, but worth a listen.

In spite of a bit of tape wobble, this is an otherwise pristine version, with everyone keyed up right. A tight solo and a fun time.

Fast acoustic pickin' with alternative lyrics. Sounds almost like a 12-string in places. Is that possible?

All the power and, let's admit it AMBIVALENCE by our boys is on here. They flub the lyrics but bigbang the jam. We are the answer to the answer, man.

Pity about that string. Was chuggin' along pretty standard until around minute 07:00, then then turned the burners on and bit into it hard.

This will blister your brain. Hot doesn't even begin to describe it: This is supernova.

Thanks bro! Let me know what you think. Maybe "best 1st set" would be more likely. But the Truckin' and TOO from what we have of the 2nd set are both just amazing. Enjoy!

The cruelest cut I've ever found in any show.
