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.

Sounds like the band was eating their Wheaties.

This is sick from start to finish.

Agree. Lovely ballad, and it lies well in Garcia's vocal register. Truly lovely.

Not surprising given the "NFA" is comes from, and listen to Bobby growl out his Dylan impression in the first verse.
