A quick and driven entrance into the Help featuring Brent and Phil filling elusively and Jerry nailing it; Very intricate Knot; Infectious Franklins.

A roaring Minglewood; Check Weir's good slide solo, Garcia's ripping solo; Some fat Phil and some Gospel Brent.

Poignant yet not somber, slow but not dragging; Mellow serene and emotive; Very strong full band interplay.

Headiness such as this excluded? THIS S>F is downright profound. Perhaps due to the passing of Parish's wife and daughter, Garcia adds some dark vibes

Saloon distant gambling vibe dark and killer

This SOTM into He's Gone is a truly mellow experience, like capturing an entire essence in a bottle, of what the band was about at this stage in the game, controlled, non-pretentious, American mellowness. The real greatness for me comes with the transition, the tempo's are nearly the same, so the seamlessness is apparent. However, on the flip side, when looking at this whole Download series, I can't love it, the show doesn't fully do it for me, but it certainly isn't awful, and its probably slightly above-average but for an official release it doesn't hit the spot. A solid run non-the less, nothing jaw-dropping. As a side note: Mr. Williams will surely be missed, a sad moment indeed, this He's Gone has a certain somberness that I feel fits the moment, Garces glad you gave me the hint.

Bouncy, concise, simplified, focused, pinpoint precision.

Played with authority, quiet and meandering, yet also harsh and powerful. You can almost hear the waves crashing up against the docks. Nearly a dirge, but not quite, the outro jam is quite nice as well. A very strong version.

Off the hook outro jamming moving through a multitude of themes varying in creativity, uniqueness, and color, I can say this Truckin' contains that definitive uniqueness that sets it apart. The outro jamming is tight and the sublime drop into Mind Left Body is just so very special.

This is the real deal, a certified smoker. Transition is on fire.
