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.

Nice version with good band interplay. I loved the jam at the end, although I thought the landing into "Estimated" was rocky. Great stand-alone!

I liked this version, but don't think it works where they have it placed in the set (although it definitely helps give this first set a character quite different from the others in this three-show run).

I did like the opener; it's nice to hear something new(er) in this slot!

Eh, I was indifferent. Too fast for my taste, and the solo doesn’t do anything but ornament the melody.

Huge bust out (four and a half years), and Phil works it.
