Jerry and Phil are off the charts during a really unique jam in the last half of this epic DS

EPIC VERSION!!! Primal attack reminiscent of '69-'70 harldy lets up until the 1st verse 13 mins. in...the thematic jam at the end is trancendent!!!!

The insane energy does not let up once for the whole 20 mins, except for a cool MLB-ish jam that comes after the 2nd verses....weird stuff

Absolutely DYNAMITE transition! Everyone is so on point and playing off each other brilliantly...Garcia shifting from tender beauty to speed-jazz, Phil thumping some crazy funk, Keith and Bobby filling in beautifully. What really makes this is the way everyone pauses during the Feelin' Groovy and then they just drive the jam home...wow. Probably a top-10 all time China>Rider for me, just amazing stuff.
