Last half of this jam is incredible. There is a point where Lesh completely takes over. From there on is stunning

Some real bouncy blues and sharp Garcia licks. This one is fantastic

Even the Promised Land cranks in this show. Big ending peak and crowd is going bonkers

On paper, this first set gets a "meh" and a shrug, but I cannot stop listening to it on the latest Dave's. Every song is given the proper treatment and the boys are ON. This song, one I never gave any real attention to, is played with power and joy. Now I wish they played it more often - has the bounce similar to "Might as Well" - I def dig it
