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.

I'm kind of new here, so if there's a more experimental version of this tune from the month, can someone point me in its direction?

I'm kind of new here, so forgive a couple of stupid questions: this seems pretty fast, but is that just me needing to get out more? And is the banter before "Estimated" the band talking about moving from there to here? And gotta love the ending, he tears it up!

It's best to hear it in the context of the surrounding "Playings," but it stands on its own as well. Listen to the AUD to hear the interaction between Garcia and Lesh.

Monster version, and the AUD is worth a listen, you can really hear the crowd react.

Great version with some nice MIDI work from Jerry. Deserves a listen!
