The band is tight and Jerry doesn't miss a beat. Seems like he's surfing with his guitar lines.

I think Jerry's working ideas out in new places in the fretboard during the "China" solo, and Brent is contributing some interesting colors.

Nice slow shuffle, and Jerry's playing is quite melodic. But he brings the heat at the end (with some help from Keith).

Some nice playing from Jerry in the solos and transition.

Nice version!
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

This is a really nice version, and I enjoyed the transition. I also really enjoy Garcia’s effects palette from these years. Sound isn’t great, has anyone heard any AUDs of this?

Thanks, man. I think everyone should give this whole show a listen, it's a solid one. I need to go through it again and comment/upvote on stuff like that stellar "PITB."

Stark and stunning move from "Eyes," and the dark>light move is both structural in this song, and represents that shifts occurring throughout this sequence. Great stuff.

Worth another note- the move from "DS" is sublime, and the move into the minor jam at the end prepares "China Doll" nicely. Also, I'm pretty sure that Jerry reprises an idea from the "DS" here, though I'd have to give it another listen to be sure.
