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.

Garcia's voice actually sounds pretty good tonight, and he's clearly glad to be singing throughout this whole show.

Kick ass version and very little slide-town Bobby? Hell yes.

Also, the feedback that happens after is a must hear. Very musical and has the pure crystalline quality of warm cosmic whale song.

A very good version. Everything before and after the atrocious sound in the middle of the set should be heard.
