Perfect final chorus. Love it when Garcia chimes in with 'and you got yours!'Like he's directly speaking to his bandmates

Jerry's MIDI will take you to a safe place. Vinny can't be denied! I consider this song to be Bobby's best when it comes to rock n' roll jamming and he brings the familiar crunch of this era. WAH-wah-wah-wah-WAH!

If there were a SBD of the electric sets this show would be much better received. Vicious TMNS (listen to Ace during the build up!) but it doesn't stop there.... The setlist fills most of my needs and the band delivers!

Radio City Music Hall

So there isn't a SBD.... Get over it and listen to Jerry lead the band through a bouncy parade of explosions! Weir firing from a revolver of sound and the drummers undeniably contribute
