Short rocker with expanded forces. Killer.

Can't believe this isn't on here. Worth hearing for what Hornsby plays behind Bobby, much less Branford.

Comes out of a powerful early "TOO."

Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues

Yes!! Also, as a reviewer on the Archive pointed out, listen to Jerry play the "and many more" tag from "Happy Birthday" at the end of this song to commemorate Phil's 50th.

Top shelf performance from Garcia on both vocals and guitar. Also think this is a great song in general!

I *thought* this sounded familiar! Net was one of the first Dead releases I'd ever heard, and I'm glad it was!!

Glad to see this here! I think it's a decent song, and it adds some variety to the set list. While some of these later shows can be formulaic (at least w/r/t the openers), having a Brent tune in the third or fourth slot breaks things up, and I think it also gives Bobby and Jerry a breather, making the rest of the set a bit hotter when it works.

A sprightly version > from a similar "Jack Straw." Nice solos from Garcia (working those triplets!), but he’s a bit hard to hear in this AUD.
