A solid and sweet rockin' version. The band is smooth and tight, recording a solid A-

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Peak Dead all week long, but this show (and the incomplete 25th) are just note for note perfect all round. This one is a stunner.

Not really a complete song, more like a short jam section of the NFA>GDTRFB>NFA, (same chords, same hambone, same clavé....) but very cool all the same. Very cool indeed.

Some wobbly vocals, which may be a tape speed problem (?), but a crunching, blistering solo from Jerry and a "fun-was-had-by-all" feelgood party feeling to it, warts and all.

Cucamonga's right. This is special. The whole set is one continuous jam, which after a pretty spaced-out Playin' and a looooooooooong d/s leads into this fun run through a different approach to Truckin'.

Constantly inventive, at times chaotic, at other times spontaneously melodic: a beautiful long ride with many twists and turns. Beautiful one-of-a-kind (correct me if I'm wrong guys and gals!) jam starts in around 11:20, and another one at 25:20. What a show!
