Brent's playing goes far outside of the rhythmic structures the rest of the band is using to support him, shaking them out of their complacency.

Acceptable slide playing from Bobby. Nice extended organ solo, MIDI sax solo. Whole band playing blues choruses gives first set particular vibe.

Looser and hotter than its more famous brethren from the following night, but Garcia gets buried some in the mix.

To my ears, the Betty Boards usually have a fair amount of Keith. Come hear why.

Nice version with good band interplay. I loved the jam at the end, although I thought the landing into "Estimated" was rocky. Great stand-alone!

I liked this version, but don't think it works where they have it placed in the set (although it definitely helps give this first set a character quite different from the others in this three-show run).

I did like the opener; it's nice to hear something new(er) in this slot!

Eh, I was indifferent. Too fast for my taste, and the solo doesn’t do anything but ornament the melody.

Huge bust out (four and a half years), and Phil works it.
