Awesome near 7 minute Playin that starts to go out there as it would much more in a few months. Really interesting period for the band imo

"Now here's where Weir gets his wish. At the expense of everybody." - Jerry. Knew there was some merit to this being my least favorite Dead song! Still interesting to hear the first version ever

Agreed. Terrific Black Peter and the acoustic set banter is also some of the best!

Fantastic version!!! Really is one of the best and can't wait to hear it on Dave's Picks 35!

As someone who (95% of the time) listens to 60s-70s Dead, this version smokes. Hits exactly where you want with this tune
