Excellent energy and Jerry led jamming to start a smoking show

I typically find the post '72 versions of this song to be a bit of filler, but this one has some nice accents from Keith and some ramp-up ending chaw

Albuquerque Civic Auditorium

Relatively short, given later incarnations, but this one has wonderful energy behind it, deliberate playing, and a delicate finish

Really crisp, Jerry is on fire and Hornsby paints some nice scenery. Great version!

This one pops so nicely. Band in crisp form, Garcia shining brightly throughout!

Baltimore Civic Center

This show overall is exceptional, and this jam puts it into the stratosphere. Inventive, patient, purposeful jamming - truly singular in its sound. The band is connected and inspired. Cannot recommend this jam enough!

Catholic Youth Center

Phil creates a DEEP pocket pre-Pig rap and he, Jerry, and Bobby emerge as a three-headed monster of groove. Post-rap, Jerry takes over on driving the jam with a hypnotic pattern the rest of the band latches onto. Great jam!

Frost Amphitheatre

This show is such a treat. Jam has tight staccato style like the clicking of a dial. Chunky goodness
