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.

How am I the first one commenting on this?!? This whole show is killer; this not only end a great Set I, it has Pigpen as tour guide, conductor, and second lead to Jerry.

Jer's voice was a little rough at the start of this set, but he's making it happen here, and the whole band is just cookin along.

They are so tight this entire night.
