Beautiful version. Equally delicate and powerful. Wonderful performances from everyone.

this whole show is more sedate and slower than some of the others from earlier this week/tour. Nice Jerry support, good vocals from Bobby.

you're either going to love Jerry's filigree or take it as noodling. I think it adds something to the cowboy songs.

Also wanted to add a comment about the distinctive "Eyes"-type riffing that occurs about 2/3s of the way in.

Agreed. Show as a whole is overrated.

I confess that I am just not a big fan of the PITB-type jams, but this is extraordinary stuff.

Bump for Jerry's birthday. "Samson, Scarlet > Fire" is all time stuff. Whole run from Feb-May (including the Jerry Band stuff) is killer.
