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.

I think it lacks some of the nuances of tempo and texture their performances would come to have, but I'm up voting for Jerry's heart-stoppingly emotive vocals.

Jerry really captures the cowboy vibe of this, and his playing is hot. Listen to young Bobby.

Really hot stuff. Jerry patiently grows several long phrases.
