Solid, strident version. Bobby and Phil take on the rowdies with a cool rap after, too. Great first set all around.

Punk rock version, responding to an aggressive Detroit crowd. "Relax man, we don't respond to that shit" sez Jerry.

Jumped up, pushing against the pulse. Seems like the rowdy crowd inspired our boys here. Gritty, almost aggressive vibe.

Strong pulse and Jerry giving it his all, vocally and instrumentally. Why doesn't this show have more love? Everything in the set is just slaying it.

Hard driver kicking off the show with Billy firing on all 8 cylinders. Mixer laureate C. Miller gives us a gem here, good copy after 1:10 of FM warble

Shows that the Dead could turn any song they wanted to into vast sonic explorations of their own musical cosmos. I don't say "favourite" or "best", because I can't define these terms), but damn though it's one sweet nice ride, this one.

Great China jam, perfect transition, blazing Rider. The boys were just brilliant this night.
