Crisp soloing and clear, limpid lines from the inexhaustible well of musical ideas here. Jed has never been my top song, but Jer just sparkles here.

Smooth and cool. C.Miller's cleanup brings out a lush mix that just sounds sooooo good. Great segue into Truckin', too.

Smooth as butter, this one. Note for note beauty.

Don't let the murky and C+ sound stop you from this gem. Would someone with C. Miller's phone number ask him about this show, please?

Continues one of the great stretches of peak Dead right after Veneta. Great jam, B- sound quality though.

Jerry's never sounded so crisp. He slashes through it like a sunlight machete.

Possible the tightest outro of all of them. Can I vote for this twice? Shieeeeeet, it just rocks.

This hits me deep in the brain. This is the sound of infinity, goodness in the cosmos, light triumphant, ecstasy. If streaming, don't bother with any copy other than Charlie Miller's.

1st version ever and its a Big Bang. All the Bertha openers throughout the years come out of this one.
