All Along the Watchtower

Love the energy after drums in this second set. My only complaint here is that Bobby starts singing the first verse early.

Love this show for this bit. Yes, the 30 Trips box set is nice, but I still prefer the Tobin matrix - check out SHNID 134455. The extra AUD gives the whole package that extra special kick.

Absolutely underrated — this version has wings. For the full effect, skip the soundboard and go for one of the audience recordings.

The extended soloing on this one is incredible. True, though, it sounds more like an Allman Brothers song than a Dead song. No complaints here, though.

Personally, I think this version beats out all the Jerry Garcia Band versions. Simply fantastic.
