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.

Honest terminology question: I always thought Space was the post-hiatus, (usually) post-drums bit?

This needs some love, it's a killer version.

Incredible version. Outstanding jam, and things fall apart perfectly into GDTRFB.

This whole show looks like it needs some love. Less jamming on the earlier versions, obviously, but really well-done.
