Red Rocks Amphitheater

Soulful, melodic soloing, with Phil interweaving with bombs. On the AUD (Charlie Miller) Phil is clearly audible, its thunder. Certified grade A.

Cowboy western polka at its finest

Powerful and forceful; Rising and falling, opening; Shattering, weeping; Closing and crashing.

Universal Amphitheatre

Tearing a hole in the mind, spinning and drilling right into the cortex; Feel the pulse, the synergy; The twilight zone

Smooth and funky; Garcia's tone is just right; Lesh is cruising; very strong opener.

This is my hands-down favorite M&MU. Garcia's hook into his solo pierces ice. Just love the fills provided by all. Perfect rendition of one of my favorite Dead cowboy songs.

There is no Bertha played on this date. I think your confusing this with the 2/5/78 version on DP 18, which has already been posted.

Charged, and absolutely ripping final jam. They push the limit of whats possible shredding wise in this song, and possibly escape the stratosphere of what they thought was possible in the first place. This is what 78' gives you, super high energy, super high intensity jamming.
