Jerry is sharp and accurate here. Great energic vocal digs. Brent's back ups are so nice. Some heart and lift here, focused and engaged every second!!

Bob's voice has some real flare/funk to it. The whole band was on fire this night. Amazing opener to a incredible show!

Featured right after Wharf Rat. BLASTING with power and tempo. The opening is explosive and the tempo doesn't let up. Very strong '79 version. FIRE.

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.
