Brent's playing goes far outside of the rhythmic structures the rest of the band is using to support him, shaking them out of their complacency.

Acceptable slide playing from Bobby. Nice extended organ solo, MIDI sax solo. Whole band playing blues choruses gives first set particular vibe.

Looser and hotter than its more famous brethren from the following night, but Garcia gets buried some in the mix.

To my ears, the Betty Boards usually have a fair amount of Keith. Come hear why.

I'm entering a Dylan/Dead kick, and it's because of things like this (and the Desolation Row from 5-10-1987).

You can tell Bobby's effort on the previous numbers lit a fire under the band's butt (and Jerry's vocals).

Again, not usually a fan of this pairing, but both are played quite musically tonight, and Bobby is working his ass off.

I confess that I've become less fond of this song each time I hear it, but this is incredibly musical.

Although I do wish the blessed drummers had stuck with that deep 16th note groove, which kept pushing the beat and deepening the pocket.
