Bobby belts it, Keith slides in perfect synchronicity. Don't miss the surprise " Johnny B. Goode" parts Garcia throws in.

In the transition in from "Wheel," you can hear some of the ideas Garcia brings into his solos during the mid- and late- May "TOO"s

The chords and initial drum beat said "NFA," the the groove kept saying "Iko."

Standout solo section with entire band playing interesting lines. Romping, stomping fun. Also not to be missed are some funny Bobby remarks re Phil breaking string (something about a man in a sharp suit smoking a cigar, with wire cutters). Billy AND Mickey’s birthday today (Parish's real birthday) before a surprisingly banging version of “Funiculi Funicula.”

Worth a vote for that super sick peak in the > alone. Everything else is just nasty. Nice one.
