Hard rock outro makes this one jaw-clenchingly good. Jamming like that in 7/4 is just awesome.

Loose in places, but full of joy.

Hard swaggering version from a sweet, if not often overlooked show capping off one of the great months in Dead history.

Jerry channels George Harrison like nobody's business. The solo at 2:45 gently weeps, guys. Check it out.

Perfect execution on this sweetheart of a tune.

This whole run is beyond immortal and every CRS just kicks. This one is brilliant.

Hey there's a bit of Terrapin in here. Check out Jerry's melodic lines starting just around 06:50. Am I crazy or is there a little theme that suggests they were already working it out, and he slipped in in? So cool.

Exactly what darkstar 67 et al said here. I'd only add that Jerry solos throughout with quicksilver brilliance, note-for-note beauty. He was bursting with ideas here.

This isn't space. This is just TOO>Morning Dew. It's awesome, but calling it space is anachronistic.

One of the nicest ones I know from '76.
