Overall this show isn't a standout, but I love me some nice space. Also dig the "Dark Star" teases at the end!

Worth it to hear what Bobby does to sweet Jane... you'll know it when you hear it. Worth a giggle.

Jerry plays some nice angular lines (ex. first solo), and this features a decent vocal performance.

Everything from this night is well above average. And listen to Keith!

I know it's almost meaningless because it's said so often, but Jerry hits a deep vein of musical and lyrical inventiveness during this month, and this is another great example.

Poignant lead by Jerry, but I've always loved Phil's lick before the first verse. If you love some melodic bass playing, check it out.

Smokin version!

You can just hear the cocaine in the increasingly extended vamps. If you want to hear where the early version of this song became the later one, I'd include this.
