It's not the gnarly 15+ minute versions it would be in later years, but there's something special about these early versions. Sweet/joyful sugareeee

Glad someone noticed, this version is insane. Watch the youtube version, to see jerry and bob doing windmills and the whole band going insane, with the crowd following them. It's heady to say the least. :D

Listen for where Phil lesh blows a speaker cabinet out and they keep jamming.. its like 2 minutes from the end, makes a synth of doom sound as if aliens are touching down. Holy shit
