Builds to a nice climax after some interesting lines from Garcia. Whole show is worth a listen.

Ends a great Set II sequence. Listen to the drummers play along with the whistle blower in the audience!

If this had been tracked along with the preceding "Playin,'" everyone would have said "of course." This whole second set is killer.

Exploratory version right out of "Terrapin." Donna sounds great, and Phil leads the jam.

The transition into the "Terrapin Station" material is particularly strong, with powerful playing from Keith.

The first time I heard this it scared the hell out of me. Intense playing!

Circled back around to this one apparently! Very good version with a great transition. Nice matrix of this cures what ails ya.

Still surprised to see that this has gotten no love! First ever 1/2 Step > Franklins and it's a fire version! Great matrix of this, give it an ear.

This version needs some serious love. Face melting Primal Dead right here!
