Nice and slow! It's like Garcia can't play a wrong note tonight! Some nice support from the full band at the climax (esp. Keith).

A bit faster than I usually prefer it, but this is probably one of the last versions with Donna that’s decent, if you prefer her harmonies to Brent’s.

Nice reading with extended solos from Garcia. His voice is a bit rough, but he's singing emotively.

Solid show opener (I can leave Weir's slide parts, though). Jerry's clearly having a good night.

Part of me wishes they tried this hard all the time. Very nice version.

Oh man, I can't believe I haven't listened to this DP yet! Stellar stuff, my favorite stand alone version.

We need to get this fixed. It's been submitted a bunch of times and others have voted for others of those. This one should have like 16 votes.

I've never heard this material done so well, period.

Hell yes! nice punctuations from Mickey, Cooks for a while then Jerry takes off. Quite funky. Massive peak. Melting transition into >

Bobby really stands out here (both with his rhythm work and vocals). Band is very tight. Jerry floats over the first solo with gossamer. Also gets pretty trippy at the end.
