This is when I thought the show locked in.

Reno Centennial Coliseum

Jerry's just on fire throughout this whole show. They jam the beginning for a while before the first verse at a nice, brisk clip.

Bit slower than the ones I usually groove on, but Jerry's bounce started off a very fine day for me.

Nice shuffle. Jerry and Donna's vocals on this sound great (how many times can you find that?)

Not the best ever, but the live premiere. Listen to the AUD to hear the crowd flip!

Agree. Lovely ballad, and it lies well in Garcia's vocal register. Truly lovely.

Not surprising given the "NFA" is comes from, and listen to Bobby growl out his Dylan impression in the first verse.
