Long crystal clear Jerry solos throughout and a great recording for '68. Gets tighter throughout the jam.

Fast, reckless, and smokin' hot. A must have for fans of '68 and all its psychedelic glory. Goes into a nice best New Potato Caboose too.

Succinct and powerful. A nice '68 set starting (!) with Dark Star and Stephen. Mellow.

Great extended spacey jam. Check out around 05:10 - 05:40 for what sounds impossibly like a FTM tease. PHIL !

Jerry's on fire in this show opener. Not my favorite song, but just a rippin' version here. Wish I could have been there....

Never hits that level of wicked psychotic meltdown like some of the massive stars, but has some of the sweetest most melodic spontaneous composition they ever did. Oh and the glorious jam transitioning into Sugar Mag followed by a furiously heavy Caution make this every bit worth the praise.

Trouble groking this song? Check this one out and get it once and for all.

This one is a nice long ride. They take their time, but get you there alright. Understated, but brilliant and coherent - up there with the best of them.

Great version with cool, almost punk rock energy to it. Set lists.net and the box set have this going into 'Next time You See Me', not 'Sitting on top of the world'. What gives?

Sounds great up-tempo. To my ears it's better as a country crooner than as a slow ballad.
