Amazing that this one isn't here. Keith's first show, Pigpen absent.

Keith really adds some intensity. Do you know where your train is at 2am?

I can't believe this one isn't here. Short but very sweet.

Not only a great night for the Dead, but Betty was on board.

I'm not really a fan of this song, but this is really good.

Hard to believe there could be at least 50 versions better than this.

In general, I have preferred the one drummer variant of 1971-1974. This song benefits from the syncopated style of Mickey and thus the added bounce. Donna is not doing her "orgasmic" thing that I have never liked. Good version.
