Smokin' encore. You know the playing was hot when even this is a scorcher.

Samson and Delilah

McArthur Court, U of Oregon

Smokin little number boosts the second set.

New Minglewood Blues

Bobby seems on this whole night, and Jerry's tone is unreal.

One of the first Dead songs I ever heard way back in the day. Kicks off a raging Set II.

Killer stuff. Someone recommended me the matrix of this (https://archive.org/details/gd1978-07-08.126239.mtx-redo.eichorn.sbeok.t-flac16). Powerful playing.

Obviously a superior version from a run full of them, but Joe_Brown and Quibus point out the obvious weakness: the transition into Big River. They land it, and it's interesting, but things fall apart for while.
