Pigpen's funky organ and early Jerry and the boy, very driving sound for early Dead!

The boys were in a really nice place this night. Killer harp work and Jerry is smoking. This is one of the better shows of 71 IMO!!

Jerry's guitar is smoking here. The beat is really funky also. Always a crowd pleaser!

First version of this played in a while and you can hear the crowd road. What a contrast to the fast upbeat set taking it way down. Love it!!!

Funky as they get, this entire second set is as groovy as they come. What a treat!

Seeing the Sunshine Daydream video takes it to a new level. I don't know if Phil's voice ever sounded better than this version!

If I could tab one of the moments in GD history this song would be it. The first time I heard it it was immediately burned into my soul forever. Beyond beautiful!
