Nice long drums with some weird Apocalypse now type Space. Solo transition into the groove for NFA

Worth an up vote for the stage banter that follows, much less the music.

Listen with the NRPS set in between the early and late Dead sets for full psychedelic cowboy effect.

Wanted to add another comment. This has some great moments in the NFA material itself, and also in the "Mountain Jam"-style section that follows. After that, Garcia rips off riffs that sound like the belong to the transitions of those stellar '72 –> Riders. If you like good Jerry, give it a spin.

This set is justifiably well known for the massive sequence that follows this tune, but the NFA>Wind is also top shelf. Worth a dust-off if it's been a while.

Yes yes yes. You really hear Jerry searching for something with this one.
