Bobby belts it, Phil THUNDERS and the drummers BRING IT. Needs to be enjoyed LOUD.

This is it- an 18 and a half minute build up to the first verse - wow!!! They go places here they usually only go in a Dark Star - what an experience!

Why is this show not more highly regarded? I will not quit talking about how good this show is. Love this NFA>GDTRFB>NFA to close out this insanely tight, well sung, psychedelic show. When they all start screaming at the end and Pig just leads the way, then Bill picks up the drum beat - AHhhh!! I get shivers every damn time. What an ending to this AMAZING show!!

Possibly overlooked because the placement in this criminally underrated show but this SMOKES. Bobby and Jerry sound sooo sweet singing together on this one and keith hits the keys with purpose and emotion. I occasionally just live inside this one - it's a nice place to visit.

Created my account just to get this higher. Seriously sublime and the best version vocally I've ever heard. Donna and Jerry meld together for the delivery of "know that the life I'm livings no good" and then the band takes off into space. Keith is perfect and Bobby adds so much to this one as well. Maybe one of my favorite Dead moments on tape of all time - go listen!
