Nice and slow! It's like Garcia can't play a wrong note tonight! Some nice support from the full band at the climax (esp. Keith).

A bit faster than I usually prefer it, but this is probably one of the last versions with Donna that’s decent, if you prefer her harmonies to Brent’s.

Nice reading with extended solos from Garcia. His voice is a bit rough, but he's singing emotively.

Solid show opener (I can leave Weir's slide parts, though). Jerry's clearly having a good night.

Part of me wishes they tried this hard all the time. Very nice version.

A must-hear show for fans of any era.

Set I is phenomenal stuff, set II is somehow even more intense, more psychedelic.

Love me some Jerry blues. Does not disappoint!

This whole first set is better than what other bands can cobble together on a whole tour.

These Stephen's have an energy unmatched in later eras. While serves as a respite of sorts between the DS and Eleven, the energy level remains off the charts.
