Brokedown Palace
While not without imperfection, this version gets at that misty quality central to the ethos of the tune.

He's Gone
Wow. Everyone is on during this great show, bob's guitar really does it for me. Won't you give it a listen!?

Me and Bobby McGee
Towards the end of a other one jam, this version is mellow, sweet and unpredictable.. a must listen for fans of this song!

Brown Eyed Women
Great version in the middle of a stacked first set.

Bertha
A bouncy second set opener that goes straight into the greatest Stephen Ever Played

Rocking, although Weir seems a little out of breath. Check out Jerry's scream after "...and the poor boy's on the line."

Drums
Phil jams with the RD's > TOO
6
Tennessee Jed
Definitely should be on the list. Excellent Jed from a legendary show!!!

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Subtly experimental transition jam seems to hint at “Feelin’ Groovy” without stating the theme outright.

Ramble On Rose
Much like the Philly version a week earlier, this one really shines.

Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo
Jerry Hitting a mean solo in this one, just makes you want to dance!
