beautiful reading of this song. Jerry forgets some words, and makes up for it with some expressive singing in the following line.

This song usually gets under my skin, but when it's working like it's supposed to (Bobby's on, set list placement, etc.), I get it.

Short, sweet, > Rider (!). Fitting show to close (what becomes) the Days Between.

Worth an up vote for the stage banter that follows, much less the music.

Listen with the NRPS set in between the early and late Dead sets for full psychedelic cowboy effect.

Wanted to add another comment. This has some great moments in the NFA material itself, and also in the "Mountain Jam"-style section that follows. After that, Garcia rips off riffs that sound like the belong to the transitions of those stellar '72 –> Riders. If you like good Jerry, give it a spin.

This set is justifiably well known for the massive sequence that follows this tune, but the NFA>Wind is also top shelf. Worth a dust-off if it's been a while.

Yes yes yes. You really hear Jerry searching for something with this one.
