Builds to a nice climax after some interesting lines from Garcia. Whole show is worth a listen.

Ends a great Set II sequence. Listen to the drummers play along with the whistle blower in the audience!

If this had been tracked along with the preceding "Playin,'" everyone would have said "of course." This whole second set is killer.

Exploratory version right out of "Terrapin." Donna sounds great, and Phil leads the jam.

The transition into the "Terrapin Station" material is particularly strong, with powerful playing from Keith.

YMMV, but I disagree. There's a lot of stuff out there, and I find it just as valuable to read what people don't like as what they do. Plus, there's practically no lucid music criticism for this scene (read Relix or JamBase lately?). I like seeing (detailed) reasons why someone doesn't like something, especially something highly rated.

I'm a big Jerry fan as well, and this version is worth hearing if only for the liquid run at end.
