One of the tightest versions I have ever heard. I would place this towards the top. Jerry is in the zone, this really is a killer version. No lies.

They really bring the hammer down on this one. Tight and hot version, the drummers especially lead the breakdown into the witchita line perfectly

Definitely overlooked because of the monster that came the night after, but in fact this is a really hot version.

High energy Drums < Jam. The drums are awesome with some fantastic energy, but the real highlight is this unbelievable jam following the drums.

This is flat out smokin. Lesh dominates this and nearly every note is played to perfection. Superior version.

St. Paul Auditorium

Solid version, Garcia keeps this one going strong. Multiple peaks, and hints of jazz
