Through the AUD fuzz and chatter comes a beautifully rendered vocal performance. Enjoy this hidden treasure.

Sweet fun in a gorgeous acoustic set. Clapalong crowd adds to the joy.

Slow waltz tempo. Bobby's voice gorgeous, Jerry's cantina filigree perfect. A perfect gem. AUD quality B-.

Pigpen gets a woman pregnant on stage. Rough AUD but utterly worth it. The jam starting around 16:00 is very hot.

Agree with Ernie5 - this is right in the sweet spot for the development of the song. Jerry's coda solo is a wild ride through the scrambled madness of the narrator. Bobby's voice in the C.Miller clean-up (I didn't get the box set!) is smoky and beautiful. For me this song has always been *the* emblem of '77 perfection and here it is on display.

Sweet treat indeed. Jerry's voice is perfectly rescued in the C.Miller upgrade, and the band is a graceful waterfall behind him.

Nice angular sparkle to the whole jam here.

Hot streak. This and the NMB before it just come ready to party. We know in retrospect the wall-to-wall peaks from April-May '77 but can you put yourself in the scene and imagine thinking... what the fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck just happened? Weren't these guys mellow just a few months ago?

Kieth continues his visit from the future experimenting with synthnoise settings that could have easily been from the ten years later. Set's a cool groove with what sounds like a Moog/DX7 and Hammond Organ rig around 5 minutes in while Jerry and Bobby are slowly boiling everybody's brains for what must have been a long strange trip to round out the set.
