Where is the love for this show?? A monster transition from Playin' into Franklins. Huge version, that blows the roof off the forum.

Legendary Terrapin Encore, I would put this in my personal top five. An absolutely ferocious final jam.

Freedom, check out 5/1/81. It's one of the best shows of 1981 and the entire Brent era.

Cgarces, I agree this is a great song, and this version is especially good. I love when Garcia pulls a twist and adds a little JGB to the Grateful Dead sets.

Emotive, and my favorite live version. Obviously, however, studio cant be beat.
