Sparkles. Has an electric country sound that just crackles with energy. Perfect execution.

An ultimate performance. Jerry's voice is in perfect shape. Powerful, chilling version that will make your hair stand on end. Shamefully overlooked.

Powerful tight playing. C.Miller cleanup, boys playing the 1st set like their lives depended on it. Peak Dead.

Note for note precise, beautiful playing. The outro is lovely and doesn't descend into madness. Donna gives it a nice gospel touch.

Sweet and delicate with beautiful orchestration towards the climax. Donna and Jerry sound glorious in the outro.

They get a slow start and Jerry flubs the lyrics in the Scarlet, but he more than makes up for it by going for the deep dive in the Scarlet jam before transitioning towards the Fire. The Betty Board is sublime, like everyone here sez.

Not a year that I'm very familiar with. I came to this show for the Dire Wolf, but it was this Peggy-O and that brilliant solo that spun me around. Very nice indeed.

Perfect description. Now I'm a big fan of the one-drummer era, but I'm a deadhead from the Brent years and there are songs that are just gonzo-delicious for Bill and Mickey together. This is definitely a hot version and worth more than the 2 votes it has here.
