Super loose in the joints and fun. They seem to be searching for the '71 sound throughout the run here but I like this one.

High powered and super charged. The last third of the first set is a real killer.

Not the best show, but the best Rat of this run. 4th ever, but the first one to stretch out and become its full self.

Want to be present at its birth? The infant Bacchus emerges. I love this song. This is the 1st time they nail it.

Passes through many phases, always exploring new riffs and hinting at further jams without ever losing its essential feeling and sound. Great stuff.

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.

Gets hotter and hotter for nearly 15 minutes of bliss.

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