One of the best versions of this era. Jerry is loose and free. Bobby plays a great slide solo (really).

The transition jam is longer than previous versions and many later ones, and Jerry goes somewhere in it. That should have happened more.

One of my favorite EPs. Can't believe it's not on here yet. Jam is fantastic, with Phil leading the way. Huge ideas and imagination.

Great jam covering a lot of ground, Phil pushing and pulling patiently, Jerry attacking.

Jerry's last solo is outrageous and the drummers respond

The peak from Jerry and Bobby in the coda is very intense.

This PITB won't change your life like it did Bman's but it has great playing from Bobby and Brent.

It's not a complicated tune and yet Jerry loses the form several times. Not likely to endear Deadheads to this new addition. It is amusing to hear him get pissed and play power chords tho.

Bobby decides to take a completely new approach to this tune here and it's awesome.

Bobby has a very good idea singing Wang Dang Doodle over this.
