Builds to a nice climax after some interesting lines from Garcia. Whole show is worth a listen.

Ends a great Set II sequence. Listen to the drummers play along with the whistle blower in the audience!

If this had been tracked along with the preceding "Playin,'" everyone would have said "of course." This whole second set is killer.

Exploratory version right out of "Terrapin." Donna sounds great, and Phil leads the jam.

The transition into the "Terrapin Station" material is particularly strong, with powerful playing from Keith.

Can't believe it took me so long to hear this one! Great version.

Welcome aboard! I've always dug the December '73 versions (don't miss 12/6 on your way to 12/19!)

Great minds think alike! I'd say it's a coin flip if I prefer 5-1 or 5-2, they're both incredible shows.
