Phil drives the first couple of verses, pushing hard against the band’s tempo. Slide Bobby.

poignant singing from Bobby, and the whole band pours it on during the solo break. Note the drummers especially. Top notch version.

Wow. This might be my new favorite. Jerry's vocals are a little wobbly at times, but he's singing with passion, and the band is dialed in.

Jam Base has some cool clips from Lesh's monitor feed from two days before: http://www.jambase.com/Articles/121093/Flashback-Grateful-Dead-Debut-Unbroken-Chain-In-Philadelphia

How has no one mentioned Brent's organ part before the first verse yet?!?
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Yes. And that AUD sounds great.

This was worth it for the 2 minutes listed as "tuning" on the AUD I've been pitching elsewhere, but was less tuning and more a 2 minutes slow exploratory introduction to a "Help > Slip > Frank" of beauty.
