Nice version in the middle of a huge Set II. Whole set is worth a listen!

This wasn't on here? Jerry's tone is dialed in, and it's infused with the spirit of the opening "Stranger"

Wheeeww! What a hot little version! Garcia spanks this.
Playin' In The Band

Atmospheric, lots of Billy that makes this sound jazzy. The whole band is playing together, and I think Garcia being slightly lower in the mix helps convey that. Very nice version. And, sleuth, don't miss 06-22! There's a killer matrix and the show is a thriller.

Be advised, Phil bombs destroy the tape itself in the ending portion.

It gets underway and a long way aways quickly. It sounds like they’re exploring the emptier space left around the absence of Mickey’s parts. Some occasional tape problems. Phil lead jam after the verse, which the entire band jumps on quickly. Fragmenting. Slowly breaks down (and Bobby seems to wander in and out of the mix, which is a shame) and then reconstitute itself into the main riff. If you’re reading this, this will probably be your thing and you should listen.
