Bobby belts it, Keith slides in perfect synchronicity. Don't miss the surprise " Johnny B. Goode" parts Garcia throws in.

In the transition in from "Wheel," you can hear some of the ideas Garcia brings into his solos during the mid- and late- May "TOO"s

The chords and initial drum beat said "NFA," the the groove kept saying "Iko."

Wanted to make a more substantive comment. Came to this show via my old Dick's Picks 2 (one that, for me, never gets old and that I love more each time I hear it). I checked out the Road Trips version because I had heard iffy things about the AUD that's on the archive; I love a good audience recording, but it's an issue of volume for me personally. The official release sounds *fantastic*—this is choice Dead from a prime time in their development, with the sort of full-band interplay that removes you from your own body. Truly top notch music; stuff like this is why I spend so much time listening to this band.

This it totally a personal preference, but I'm not usually a big Pig fan. I'm also just now starting to hear how much Jerry's playing is inspired by Pig's raps rhythmically, though, and it's a wild time.
