Smokin' encore. You know the playing was hot when even this is a scorcher.

Smokin little number boosts the second set.

Bobby seems on this whole night, and Jerry's tone is unreal.

One of the first Dead songs I ever heard way back in the day. Kicks off a raging Set II.

Oh man, I can't believe I haven't listened to this DP yet! Stellar stuff, my favorite stand alone version.

We need to get this fixed. It's been submitted a bunch of times and others have voted for others of those. This one should have like 16 votes.

Hell yes! nice punctuations from Mickey, Cooks for a while then Jerry takes off. Quite funky. Massive peak. Melting transition into >

Bobby really stands out here (both with his rhythm work and vocals). Band is very tight. Jerry floats over the first solo with gossamer. Also gets pretty trippy at the end.
