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.

Picked these because I knew and loved the originals. In retrospect I would have started elsewhere, but that's in the past. I thought I was ready for the bus after the headiness of the originals, but how wrong I was!

Takes a minute to materialize out of "Playing," but that's worth hearing. Jerry rips out the "train" line!

Nice solo from Jerry, and then a big contribution from Brent. Not to be missed by Brenantics. Giving this one the up-vote bump.

Surprisingly nice version, kicks up some at the end.
