Smooth as silk, as melodic as they come. Kicks off a classic 2nd set also...

Wow! Best pre-hiatus verison? Jerry has some mindmelting amphetamine leads during the bridge. Just unbelievable stuff!!!

Definitely an epic jam with a sick-ass Truckin'. Underrated show too.

Dane County Coliseum

One of my favorite versions ever. It's so good, I don't even mind the turkey gobble sounding tape "effects".

WOW!! Effing siiiick buildup in this jam!!!! A must hear. Segues into a sweet NBFBM with some cool Other One-ish type riffs/teases too.
