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.

Nice version! Tempo is different from the ones I'm most familiar with (77-ish), but I like this, and Jerry plays some interesting lines over the chord changes.

Heard some of the hype around this show and was expecting more, but it's a decent version.

I don't know if I'll vote for it yet, but this is one of a few performances in the first part of this set that I dug.

Absolutely worth a listen, if only because it's so unexpected.
