Awesome. Very elongated solo and some nice verse flourishes

Not going to dethrone Veneta by any means but still a worthwhile spacey, concise, chilled out rendition. Some nice melodic chord jamming from Garcia.

Was surprised to see this wasn't already here. Phenomenal solo from Jerry and some beautiful cascading keys courtesy of Keith

This goes the distance. Kreutzmann sounds like he has 8 arms. Spanish jam has a tinge of sorrow in the beginning, then turns into a tense, jammed out monster. Very unique. '73 was amazing, should be way higher up.

Fantastic, massive chords in the Jerry solo. Underrated GL. Great rec marmon

So good. Bobby drives this. Phil is absolutely earth shattering. Incredible Duane Allman crescendo at the end. Only complaint is how hard it is to hear Peter Green, which is a shame considering that you can make out just enough to tell that what he's playing is amazing. Imagine being at this show and witnessing Garcia, Weir, Duane Allman, and Peter Greene all jamming together; doesn't get much better than that. Once in a lifetime performance right here

I feel like I'm beating a dead horse singing praise for this version but I'll be damned if this doesn't contain some of the most fluid solos Garcia ever threw down-- these solos seriously sound like they could've been composed. One of a kind phrasing and more melody than you could ever imagine. Not to mention the rhythm devils holding it down like they're the beating heart of the earth. The drumming in the first solo is utterly outrageous-- propels Jerry forward and into the heavens
