2nd one ever, and doesn't flow perfectly yet. They're working out the lovely 3-part harmonies and it's just fantastic transitional Dead.

Sweetness in the '70 acoustic key. Confusing setlist/archive on this show, but worth a listen.

In spite of a bit of tape wobble, this is an otherwise pristine version, with everyone keyed up right. A tight solo and a fun time.

Fast acoustic pickin' with alternative lyrics. Sounds almost like a 12-string in places. Is that possible?

All the power and, let's admit it AMBIVALENCE by our boys is on here. They flub the lyrics but bigbang the jam. We are the answer to the answer, man.

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.
