Hard rock outro makes this one jaw-clenchingly good. Jamming like that in 7/4 is just awesome.

Loose in places, but full of joy.

Hard swaggering version from a sweet, if not often overlooked show capping off one of the great months in Dead history.

Jerry channels George Harrison like nobody's business. The solo at 2:45 gently weeps, guys. Check it out.

Savage cut in it tho. Mike Lai's soundboard has the last minute, but the AUD just fades out (tape change?)

I come back to this one again and again and just go nuts for it every time.

The immortal Pig Rap. "I gotta bouta dolla and a quarter... You can't buy much for a dolla and a quarter...." And so much more. I agree with Phil (!): This is some of the best Pig out there.

Very hot, very tight, and freakishly good. Perfect transition into a nice Stella, too.

To fully grok this one, you have got to listen to the Dark Star before it. Phil is totally explosive here, and it comes out of one his most massive solos of the year right before it. Jerry then takes his lead and tears it up in the most completely beautiful way.
