I feel like I heard hendrix's version a million times so I never really gave the Daed's version much time. This is bonkers! Bobby randomly goes off...

You're probably joking about the title, but in case you weren't: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ragged_but_Right_(album) :) Also, I live in this area and have for 10 years or so now. Never caught a game at the old Cap center. Only been to the ol' Corporate Name Generator in Chinatown

This version deserves to be heard more, I think. Emotional (cathartic?) vocals from Jerry and Bobby during Rider. Ragged but Right

I respectfully disagree with the comment above that says this version is superior to the JBG band versions. I've been on a JGB bender and the version from 3/22/78 (released on Garcla Live 4) is stunning and is what finally made me fall in love with this tune. Keith and Donna are in that iteration of the JGB and Keith's solos are part of what make that version so amazing. Him and Jerry just stretch out and solo to the heavens. Maria Muldaur is also on that date and her voice really melds well with a subdued Donna. Sorry for the digression...this is a solid Dead version from an otherwise lukewarm (imo) show.

Bobby kills this. I heard the Stones version so many times...I didn’t really think I could get into this tune anymore

Agree with the first comment—Hyperspeed Jerry for the win! Sounds like he has at least 3 hands on some of these runs. Killer!
