Can't believe I didn't post this one from this epic show. Killer. The drummers are on fire!

Somewhat clumsily finds its way out of "Scarlet" but this one has spunk! Split with "Sunshine Daydream" later on.

One of my favorite Dead live performances of all. Such energy. So glad it I have the honor of letting it edge 3/18/95; that version is fun, but this one manages to be both fun and loose as well as tight and intense. I adore this performance.

The end of the first half when they start to transition into "Saint of Circumstance" is so hauntingly beautiful. "Saint" seems like a bizarre choice for "Dark Star" to segue into, but it leads so some spectacular work from Hornsby, who also shines on the second half. Phil is a beast throughout.

Not the best "Playin'," but man Phil is ON FIRE for this one.

This is the version where I really feel in love with this pairing. Super jammed out and rockin'.
