Nice and slow! It's like Garcia can't play a wrong note tonight! Some nice support from the full band at the climax (esp. Keith).

A bit faster than I usually prefer it, but this is probably one of the last versions with Donna that’s decent, if you prefer her harmonies to Brent’s.

Nice reading with extended solos from Garcia. His voice is a bit rough, but he's singing emotively.

Solid show opener (I can leave Weir's slide parts, though). Jerry's clearly having a good night.

Part of me wishes they tried this hard all the time. Very nice version.

Must-hear jamming. Unbelievable power and energy. Pig adds a whole other level to the following Feedback.

Agree. The guests make this version.

Branford's solo is good, even Bobby's slide solo is better than average (although Bruce steps on him and then doesn't continue supporting). Gotta love this big three-segue opener.
