Bouncy and upbeat. Keith is on, and the lyrics are sung convincingly by Garcia.

Do they come together or what! Garcia's solo is tight and smoking.

Great one, very dark.

Every song in this show was nailed. One of the best ever. Certainly top 5 for the fantastic year of 1971. Not to discount the awesome achievements in November, August, and April. This show here at the Hill Auditorium can hold up with the best of them. This Other One, by the way has Keith playing some mind-blowing stuff. Practically steals the spotlight from Garcia, and hey, thats no easy task. Very rare, and Keith really was the only member who ever consistently (before his decline in 78) had the potential to steal the spotlight from Garcia's eloquent phrasing.

Really overlooked performance, in fact very good. This Playin' never has a dull moment, superb playing. This is up with the best of them.
