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.

Jerry totally bungles the riff into Slipknot, but then recovers for a great jam.

Just wanted to tell you I tuned into your radio show last week! I couldn't hear it all (streaming problems), but loved what I could hear! Sweet job man.

Oh shit how have I not commented on this sooner? This is a killer jam and all-time stuff. I've dug this for a long time and it holds up. Does not disappoint.
