Keys can come off loud on the recording. Fun crowd reactions. Bobby is engaged and on fire. Strong performance from the band.

I Know You Rider

The version that turned me into a deep fan of this song. As 70's dead as it gets. Beautiful and pulling. Very pulling. What a journey with this one . . This version also does include the rarer verse featured in the earlier versions: "I'd rather drink muddy water, sleep in a hollow, then stay here in 'Frisco, be treated like a dog" Beautiful version, very deserving of the hype. Gotta love acoustic dead <3

Up Vote! Great recording and great execution from everyone. I really enjoyed Phil and Pigpen here. A defiant worth listen too. Overall great job.

Enchanting. Very enchanting version and Jerry digs into these lyrics and really spirals you into the song in a gorgeous way.

Absolutely dynamic jam. Everyone's talents are on full display on this one. . Jerry is just on fire this November night.. But not to overshadow Pigpens work and the rest on this one. A extremely deserving up vote on this.
