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.

Nice version with good band interplay. I loved the jam at the end, although I thought the landing into "Estimated" was rocky. Great stand-alone!

I liked this version, but don't think it works where they have it placed in the set (although it definitely helps give this first set a character quite different from the others in this three-show run).

I did like the opener; it's nice to hear something new(er) in this slot!

Eh, I was indifferent. Too fast for my taste, and the solo doesn’t do anything but ornament the melody.

Huge bust out (four and a half years), and Phil works it.
