Crisp soloing and clear, limpid lines from the inexhaustible well of musical ideas here. Jed has never been my top song, but Jer just sparkles here.

Smooth and cool. C.Miller's cleanup brings out a lush mix that just sounds sooooo good. Great segue into Truckin', too.

Smooth as butter, this one. Note for note beauty.

Don't let the murky and C+ sound stop you from this gem. Would someone with C. Miller's phone number ask him about this show, please?

Continues one of the great stretches of peak Dead right after Veneta. Great jam, B- sound quality though.

Hella great energy: Just savage at the transition point from LL>Sup, and Bobby tears it up like his life depended on it.

New C. Miller cleanup makes this an fun-fest, even if they just can't seem to get the monitors right....

There's another funky electric version on the recently posted Charlie Miller cleanup of 23 December 1970, which is different, but also freakin' fantastic.

gdtrfb Era E: Is this the same as the dubiously dated 17 December 1970 on the Archive? I don't have the Family Dog stuff. If it is, it's freakin' hot stuff.

Questionable date, but unquestionably awesome. Should be much higher - and the alternative date (October 4, 1970) proposed by some commentators on the archive is not up here - so listen up, heads, this one is the goods.
