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.

This show is phenomenal stuff, I've been devouring it in small chunks since summer. Jerry takes a dive on the lyrics (more than once), but the band's sound is kaleidoscoping around the hall. Get the matrix.

Hell yes! This whole show is great and under loved.

They play the crap out of this.
