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

"I got a head full of ideas", yeah, that's an understatement Bob dylan. Great version with awesome big smiling, tight comin' out of a nice Big river.

Great stuff, hot start. Kreutzmann eternally chewing that gum. And i know every dead fan already has thought this, but it's kind of insane that Jerry is 49 in this. He looks like an 85-year-old man. I mean that in the best way possible. All the OG members of the Dead have probably lived dozens if not hundreds of distinct lifetimes within this earthly one.

Good shit tonight. Love the fashion choices tonight, Mickey resplendent in yellow and Jerry rocking a very interesting "2/3rds sleeve" shirt.

Whoa. Transcendent loping version. And i mean, what a stunningly allegorical lyric from Hunter, too. Amazing video, thanks.
