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 and like cgarces said, helps the set grow wonderfully.

Nice version!

Hell yes! There are some first-time jitters, but they connect to and from this seamlessly. Nice show all around.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Amazed to see such a wide variety of opinions on the archive about this version! That in and of itself makes this worth checking out.
