Really tight and energetic; follows the blistering Sugaree and darts into superb Mexicali

Injected with Weir’s idiosyncratic slide runs; then Jerry sends it around for another lap.

Fillmore East

Was just minding my own business, listening to GD when I got mugged by this version!
Playin' In The Band

Tower Theater

6/19 perhaps, though not 23 mins. Fanfrickintastic! - as the description says.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Oklahoma City Fairgrounds Arena

As this transition gets going, Phil tosses on the cordwood. As Jerry’s flames begin to emerge and reach upward, Keith’s sprinklings rise like sparks, while Billy’s rhythmic pulses seem to synchronize the whipping of the flames. And Bob, yeah, he’s like a bellows pumping oxygen into this thing the whole time. Brilliant bonfire. Step back and enjoy the heat.
