Great second set version after a 45 minute jam and emotive China Doll.

Major screw-up of the lyrics here, Pig tries to make up for it and then Jerry just steals the show. I can dig.

Love the midnight countdown with (I believe) Dan Aykroyd talking about the giant joint and the crowd going nuts. The PERFECT song to start off the new year and a great show! Also love this song so much more when it's not ending a show

I love the second set of '69 shows where they would start with a jamming song (in this instance opening up with Dark Star) and just take it from there...That, to me, is the essence of the Grateful Dead in their rawest form. This is electric and hair-raising

Transition out of Dark Star>Other One into this is wonderful...and back into Dark Star
