You might think it a throw-away song, but they just burn it up so ferociously that you know they took it seriously....

Badass. Jer's right on top of it and the band is shitkickingly in your face.

Long journey. Jer moves out of the nebulae toward HCS around 10:50, but the cosmos moved into Playin' instead. Epic indeed.

Played a full step lower than in later years.

Jerry soloing behind Pig's lead here (and elsewhere) is too hot. Get's the sap running.

This is a perfect version: Energetic, but not cokey, clear vocals, and soaring, driven, take-control solos. I'll take this ride anytime.

Great vintage dead. Everyone was on for the show and Pig was blazing from beginning to end. Think I'll (a year later) add that around 18:00 they get into some very cool melodic inventions. Nice nice nice.

Would love to hear it, but the versions of this date on the Archive with El Paso seem to be DPs, not-for-streaming. Any ideas why the different songlists for this great date?
