The longest and best IMO. Absolutely incredible heavy-metal shredding from Jerry!! And the transition into Lovelight is damn-near perfect.

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.
