One of those note-for-note perfect versions that leave you staggered and smiling. Just beautiful.

Not a song I usually get so swept up by, but on this one Jer's vocals are just perfect, capturing the sweetness and sorrow of the lyrics. A beaut.

High-powered and tight. This show has nothing but complaints about the mix on the archive. Listen to the Ashley transfer, and see what you've missed.

Such sweet harmony, such sweet sentiment - turning on a dime after the white-hot Dew. Shows the beautiful country chops Donna at her best brought.

Jam starts at around 05:45, never fully forms. Am I crazy? This sounds like NFBM and it continues about 3min into TOO. Very very cool stuff here.

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.
