Perhaps its uniqueness prevents it from EPIC status but listen to how obtuse this thing is.

Something for everyone here: lush aural quiltwork, bass solo, and a 'Feelin' Groovy' segment which is followed by tight abstractions

Both more nuanced and multi-textured than your typical PITB jam. Great stuff!!!

The archive link is for an AUD but there is a nice, crisp Miller-worked SBD available, too.

Listening to this leaves me scratching my head why the Dead only played this once. I tend to think that Jerry must have chosen it as he would go on to play it later outside of the Dead, but why it was dropped I don't know. It's really easy to imagine any vintage of the band doing great stuff with this tune.

Nice one, for sure. This one somehow slipped through the cracks.

'TJ' is a great tune that I generally skip over; however, I regard this version as one of the highlights of this legendary show. This one seems a little low on the list.
