Just another great '77 Prophet. Fascinating to see the transformation of this as a jam vehicle throughout this tour.

This entire Palladium run is a Keith clinic.

I agree– not usually my jam, but I quite liked this version!

Which guitar is JG playing? I didn't think Tiger debuted until later this year, so is he playing Wolf?

Agree that this song changed by era, so it's hard to pick a definitive one, but also agree (insist!) that this is a must hear. Vocal issues usually turn me off, but Garcia is *ON* all night, and it comes through here in a big way.

This one has the extra verse ("couple shots of whiskey..."), some crowd sing-along that comes through nicely on the AUD, and I’m a complete sucker for Jerry noodling before songs.

For completists, the “M&MU > Big River” that precedes this is decent, but I personally didn't hear anything particularly special. Jerry’s playing in “River” is nice, and you can tell he's having a good night, and Keith doesn't get in the way too much.
