Always love Garcia's guitar dancing around the vocals in this tune. Listen to the scrub at the end of the first solo break!

Damn IPad. I starting typing and somehow it returned. What I was going to say is "Garcia is shooting arrows in this Rider. Not as developed as the 73 and 74 versions but these Europe 72 ones are near and dear to me. This is a great version.

Listen to the Lee version. I commented on Searchin and New Orleans from this show. This very well hold a new place in my top 5 favorite shows.
