down to business in the mines of emotion. Tight and incredible. A gem of a intuitive version with lots of rootsy charisma and swingin' euphoria..

Slow and serious. Mickey is masterful as is the overall tone control.Solo could have had more satisfying crescendo, fun lowkey set 1 vibe

Omg, how many times did the Dead play at Winterland ? It's for all intents and purposes, their home base of this decade, I would argue. Amazing, tight and classic Bertha kicking off this gig - always a fun one to time travel. It was on this day 41 years ago.
