Winterland Arena

Awesome 17+ minute jam. Very sharp, jazzy leads - a rival of 11/11/73.

Gets pretty spacey, sounds like they hint at Tighten Up a little...

Great rec, this version definitely kicks major ass. One of my favorite '78s.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

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...
