I usually don't care about this song, but this is a superior take. Highlights are the ripping solo and agreeable vocals throughout.

The reason we all love 1970 and the two set acoustic/electric format. Don't miss the NRPS set from this night either!

Rare, gut-wrenching ballad.

Opening of a very famous show. It's like you're in the balcony with the AUD.

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.
