beautiful playing. Bobby and Keith during the solo make this one for me.

This entire show is under listened and under loved. Folks seem to think the "Great May Shows" start the next night, and this sleeper flies under the radar, which is a shame since everything here is a cut above the rest of the Palladium run, is at least the equal many of the other May shows, and is far better than others (I'm looking at you, St. Paul...).

Nice solo. The vamping at the end makes this sound more like a set closer than a mid-set number. Show is assuredly underrated.

superior version. Good peak and whole band just cuts along. Hunter Seamon's matrix is best of both worlds.

First solo too low in register to really punch through on the the AUD (Glassberg's), but then he shifts higher and there is some great interaction with Keith. Second solo begins with punchy, angular riffs until Garcia starts floating around the neck. Also don't miss the stunning Garcia solo transition into "Wharf Rat!"
