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.

I agree with the above, and want to add that if you love 80s releases and/or matrices, it's worth getting just to they put out more. /soapbox.

This is when I hear Garcia really stepping out and trying some new ideas, which infuses the rest of the night with some serious magic. Three songs in (and the first two ain't bad either!)!

It sounded like Jerry was a bit vocally fatigued, but then he kicked on the effects and shreds. Absolutely worth a listen.

Yes! Those are some great synth tones, and they mesh very well with the tone Garcia's dialing in tonight. Also some nice interplay between J G, Brent, and Bobby.

This whole thing is too funny in context.
