I usually don't care about this song, but this is a superior take. Highlights are the ripping solo and agreeable vocals throughout.

The reason we all love 1970 and the two set acoustic/electric format. Don't miss the NRPS set from this night either!

Rare, gut-wrenching ballad.

Opening of a very famous show. It's like you're in the balcony with the AUD.

Fantastic version. I got turned on to the show from the previous night which is also killer and absolutely worth checking out.

Nice slow groove. Great boogie groove with good lyrical Garcia. Upvote.

Overall I thought most of the first set was pretty bland, and while the second set got off to a slow start, it features some good playing. If you're a fan of this tour, this ending sequence is worth checking out.

Overall this show isn't great, but Brent is a man possessed, and his solo and scatting are why I posted this. Worth going through this tour just to hear Brent!
