Brent's playing goes far outside of the rhythmic structures the rest of the band is using to support him, shaking them out of their complacency.

Acceptable slide playing from Bobby. Nice extended organ solo, MIDI sax solo. Whole band playing blues choruses gives first set particular vibe.

Looser and hotter than its more famous brethren from the following night, but Garcia gets buried some in the mix.

To my ears, the Betty Boards usually have a fair amount of Keith. Come hear why.

I'm kind of new here, so if there's a more experimental version of this tune from the month, can someone point me in its direction?

I'm kind of new here, so forgive a couple of stupid questions: this seems pretty fast, but is that just me needing to get out more? And is the banter before "Estimated" the band talking about moving from there to here? And gotta love the ending, he tears it up!

It's best to hear it in the context of the surrounding "Playings," but it stands on its own as well. Listen to the AUD to hear the interaction between Garcia and Lesh.

Monster version, and the AUD is worth a listen, you can really hear the crowd react.

Great version with some nice MIDI work from Jerry. Deserves a listen!
