Magic in Saratoga! You can tell when Jerry chips in on the refrain, he's having a good old time.

VERY laid back version with subdued guitar work letting Keith and Phil shine through.Not sure I've heard another like this.

Great Jerry/Brent interplay. This whole damn show smokes if you can get past the lack of a SBD. The Huston/Miller remaster ain't too shabby.

Grate Pick! Heavy Duty LIG in a rockin' Berkley show that begs for the matrix treatment.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Patrick Gymnasium, U of Vermont

This has been one of my pocket shows for years. Great S>F and the Hunter-Seamons matrix really makes it shine. Whenever I see Hunter's name in "other copies", that's the show I'm grabbing or replacing. He's got a FB page where he releases new matrix recordings: https://www.facebook.com/GratefulDeadTrix?fref=ts

Was just watching this video on Youtube. Interesting transition from Estimated...... almost like they're getting on the train into drums> space but Jerry pulls them back into the Station.
