This one zips!

Truckin'
groovy, laid back jams

Jack Straw
Sweet version, very tight and mellow groove: Love the 70's outlaw buddy-pic vibe.
5
Let It Grow
Tighter and a wee bit faster than the previous night's debut, played with more confidence and just exactly perfect.
15
China Doll
Very sweet and sorrowful. A beautiful version.
12
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
China Cat is a slow, bumpy, and chaotic mess, quickly ended. Follows a beautiful Feeling Groovy and long Rider. Good to see the boys quick recovery!
13
Looks Like Rain
OMG!!!! This may just be the the best. Only downside is a brutal cut at the climax of Jerry's solo during the bridge...but this is still a must hear!
12
Not Fade Away
Jamming central... Absolutely in my top 5...love this show!!!!
16
Weather Report Suite
Played with emotion!!!
14
Let Me Sing Your Blues Away
Debut of the Keith on lead vocals tune from Wake of the flood

Greatest Story Ever Told
I dig this one, Garcia plays some longer, watery lines that get the job done in a satisfying way

Big River
Absolutely outstanding Garcia, a couple moments made my jaw drop
15
Tennessee Jed
After 6 min Jed is a lot of fun.
7
Sugaree
Sugary

Me and My Uncle
Pretty awesome version with Keith high up in the mix. Great Bobby vocals too
7
Beat it on Down The Line
Nice first set material

Row Jimmy
Wonderful version, everyone in the band is in sync on this one. Love the harmonizing vocals in particular

One More Saturday Night
Billy really makes this one -- some very cool snare and hi-hat work starting just before 2:00!
2
El Paso
Not the best vocally, but very good instrumentally.
5
Ramble On Rose
Jerry and Bob are both really good on this one. Phil and Bill drive it forward nicely as well -- doesn't drag at all like some do.
