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.

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

Jerry shows up ready to play!

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.
