If Picasso's 'Guernica' had a small cut in it it would still be a masterpiece. This TOO has a bad cut in the recording but is still a masterpiece. A+

This is heady but it's now believed to have occurred on 5-11-69 in San Diego.

A highly edited but well-worth-your-time video of this kickass performance is now up on youtube.

Jerry's singing and electrified Keith make this one heady.

Plenty happening on this one to warrant a listen. Nice segue into 'Drums'.

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.
