Underrated show here, apparently. This is a good version from an excellent show.

Starting to be a little disco-inflected, but none the worse for it; Garcia is firing away...

Really solid version; about as good as it gets

Rather surprising this hasn't been submitted, this show seeks a bit underrated in general. Garcia gets majorly vicious here.

Very hot, as everything from this date seems to be---marred by a little cut early on

Jerry is a firehose on this one

This is a beautiful version of this song--as good as it gets, I'd say. The performances don't have a ton of variation, so it's hard to say something like "best ever," but there is none better! I suppose if anyone were to dissent it would be because they don't like Keith's wah piano....

You know, I never understood late 70s Iko Iko for the longest time, but at this point in my life degenerate Dead that meanders is my absolute favorite music, and this is where it's at!

Jerry sounds amazing on this one
