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.

Can't believe I forgot to vote for this! Great playing, and one of my favorite Jerry licks in the post-"Headlight" verse. This whole show never disappoints.If you have 4 hours to drop into something top to bottom, give this a listen.

There's a matrix of this that I really enjoyed.

Whoa, surprised this is so low! Clearly a peak of this incredible sequence.
