Beefy stetson hat workout. Ravishing harp and fun fender deluxe reverb tones.

Not unheard of to go into this after scarlet fire (34 times) still, something of a wacky pranksterish reset. Speedy and powerful version with growl.

Devils come alive. Joy ride to wirepickin' ecstatic oblivion. Furiously active yet not autobahn, deep 80s

Great one. Kits duet is really inspired. Space curdles out with noise but gets jester's hat nightmare with vocal pranks. Beautiful long bluesy intro

That's beautiful Carrion Crow, and evokes the same feeling I get when I hear the opening notes of this magnificent song. Not quite as jammed out as this one would develop to be, especially in the following year, but a nonetheless wonderful version.

4 votes? jesus christ. Heater tmns whole show is stellar band is in a comfortable and leisurely pace but still so killing with the chops. Jazzy and destructive, youtube clip has a very nice matrix where you can hear the crowd eating up Garcia's solo for dinner. I would give my leg to have seen Jerry in the 70's.
