The slower tempo here lets Jerry and Keith stretch out some during their solos.

Startled not to find this here. Def. best of Palladium run, and can stand toe to toe with the rest of the month.

fantastic version with great Bobby/Donna. Everyone else is just trying to match their emotional performances.

Just more stellar May '77 balladry.

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!
