A little triumph here. Acoustic intimacy from a brilliant great of a show.

Like all your best friends sitting around the campfire, strumming and pickin' by starlight. Have a sip or a toke and enjoy....

Really lovely here, part of one of the warmest, most intimate acoustic sets of 1970.

Jerry and Bob bite down hard and tear into this one with muscle. Their interplay lightens up and whoops! We find ourselves in Stephen.

Anthemic beauty. Great ensemble singing and powerful pacing to it. Then Janis steps on stage for Love Light, so there's that.

Not only is this version hot, but it's the bust-out too, setting up for all the great Bobby-Donna ones.

Agreed with Ernie5 here, this is a cool little one-off jam, which doesn't seem lost at all. Almost sounds like they were going into something else, but then got into one of the year's best Dancin's.

Dude 420, you are hearing that correctly. It appears the night before too. Check out this cool site on some of the recognisable jams: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2010/01/deads-early-thematic-jams.html

This and the stand alone on two days earlier are just bonkers-good. I love how this one comes way down for tree-skimmingly low-altitude high speed chase.

Weak outro though. This show has some soft spots.
