The Devils go totally tribal after they take this down to pin drop quiet and at the end JG cranks the rusty blade.

Bobby colors this one finely and Jer dishes the backup vocals and riffs perfectly - they nail the changes to make this one glow. (matrix)

A warm wash of sound with Garcia doing some vibrato on the vocal that makes it special and very sad indeed.

Hey Grendel - I gotta question for you check out the Ventura 7/14/85 NFA sometime and at 2:08 Bobby starts it and Jer and Brent jump on it. This riff has driven me crazy - it's short but distinct - I think it's old from the 50's or early 60's (this whole version is stellar for mid 80's btw). I am asking you since I think we both "hear" things but then as my wife has told me maybe I am just nuts.

Dig the sentiment but can't get on this one maybe will let it lie and come back to it... while the Exit Jam > Spanish jam segment is killer. I wanna know if anyone knows of one like 11/22/72 my favorite by a long shot.

One of those versions where the whole band reaches into the thermals .... as CGarces notes the first jam is a beaut.
