Jerry really connects the dots in the solo. The first few phrases in particular are sublime.

Brooding, hypnotizing version. Beautiful playing by Jerry and Brent, and brilliant vocal with unexpected touches.

Best Brent solo I've ever heard on this tune. Jerry follows up in style.

Great solo with brilliant Brent accents, and then burning coda. Check out what Jerry plays at 6:06. Listen to the Bob Morris aud.

How is this not on here? Dark and deep, dominated by Phil and Bobby.

Uptempo version with Jerry on fire.

One of the great things about Jerry is his fuck it attitude when he forgets lyrics. Here he goes into an extended, unique solo. When he does sing there's an interesting sad quality to his voice. Coda is burning.

They sound happy to be back

Everyone sounds great here. Love the chromatic intro. This show is underrated because of the mythology of the Dead blowing the big ones. The first show was awful, the second one was bad, and this one was awesome.

A beautiful piece of music from beginning to end
