Seems like this one is going nowhere....band/Jerry sneeks up on you, and all of a sudden you are in the midst of a high octane groovefest!!!!

Epic slow-burning funk. Gets better as it goes, and as Garica gets louder in the mix...one of my favorite stand alones!

A fantasticly jazzed out version, Garica's long slithering solo is the longest to date...

Great rec, this version definitely kicks major ass. One of my favorite '78s.

This is the infamous "Washoe zephyr" show but they are definitely ON for this number!!! Like Keith's piano work going into the jam and Garcia is just burning as brightly as that headlight...
