Real nice groove to it throughout. Garcia comes in blazing with that stanky early 80s tone at start of the short jam. Fine one.

Fun cap off to a real good Red Rocks show. Phil sounded so good in the mix this entire show.

Decent one up until the jam, and Garcia comes in guns a blazing! The jam is awesome! Everyone sounds great.

This one is great. Groovy and takes its time chugging along. They were in a real specifically mellow but focused mood this night.

A real low and slow, broody performance here. Good, easy listening Eleven.

This one is absolutely banging. Garcia is sitting on this one right where he needs to be. Keith is adding the perfect sparkles where he needs to. Drum fills are great. Donna sounds nice. Well deserved spot at the top of this list.

Barring all of the other absolutely beautiful and unbelievable madness that happens during this tune, I really love the phaser that Weir throws onto his guitar for this one. Fucking awesome.
