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.

Wonderful version, and I concur with above on all counts.

Them doing Dylan covers for these last few years pays off tonight.
Turn On Your Love Light

Odd juxtaposition of Branford making parts of this 1950s rock and roll, and Bobby doing some Pig rap.

Much less the jam. The Drums > Space into the second verse? This is definitely why this is here.

This is seriously good. Should be ranked higher because of the energy in the crowd alone.
