Jerry is a bit subdued BUT the solo may be the best ever.

First set opener, I really dig the MDs os this era. Still kind of sturdy and brisk but becoming the majestic ballad that it was in the 70s/80s.

This is an all-timer, I say...Garcia plays like a trumpet here, pre-midi...

Garcia is really clean and clear in the mix, which makes this one of my favorite versions. Weir's guitar is pretty buried this set, though

As good as it gets. You have to have the Bear version, but it cuts in during the second solo....I have one blended with the other (Miller?) which is really the only solution, because Jerry is cranked on the Bear version...

I agree, and 10-18 is equally great! You have to have the Bear version of 10-18, but it cuts in during the second solo....I have one blended with the other (Miller?) which is really the only solution, because Jerry is cranked on the Bear version....but I digress. Probably each as great as the other.
