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.

Bump for the organ part! For those of you indifferent about Brent, listen to that riff/tone, and tell me you don't hear the obvious influence he had on Jerry's playing/sound. Also, this has one of most musical of the whole band transitions > Fire that you will hear.
