Tender, soothing, perfect. Brimming with firecracker... jerry rips a mean fret-flyer or two

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

You might be right. Nonetheless, a classic slow Deal. Like so many of our favorite creators and artists, the Dead have several evolutionary phases each with their own unique things to love.

Average big river. Still some Keith gun slingin' though.

I mean come on, with 125 votes for this jack straw, you'd think people would check out the rest of this prime 70's dead set. This he's gone is just insanity!
