Bobby's on, tight version. Short - but you can hear hints of where Playin' will go in '72.

Mysterious movement from acoustic to electric inside this gem. Moves into a great Darkstar.

Best quality sound also gives this one extra massiveness. The show is pure gold. Really nice to hear Bobby properly mixed into an AUD, too.

Want to be Jerry's guitar? Put your headphones on and get into it. Going through this show again and yes, it is one of the best AUDs of all time. This, friends, was what it was like to be at the show.

Really underappreciated here, probably because its big brother the next day is such a colossus. But give this one a whirl, and it'll whirl you right back. They capture that scary rushing part of the ride, while hinting at the monster bugs underneath without actually letting them out. Part of a great set in a great two-show run. Don't miss it.

Gets hotter and hotter, then reaches critical mass. Stick around for the end and you won't be disappointed. I wonder how the convicts felt about it. Did the crew bring any medicine in for them? You know in honor of Bear and all that?

Prettiest post-hiatus version I know - then gets hot and rocks beautifully. Jerry was famously ambivalent about this song, probably because the break in the middle interrupts the jamming sections, but here he plays it with all his magic. Edit: does anyone else hear the two chord ostinato figure in the out chorus (around 7:00 here) as church bells, or at least as the wishing well with the golden bell?
