Fastest version I’ve ever heard. Bobby: “what Motor City?” quip mid-song.

Odd placement as second song in second set, but benefits from solid Garcia thoughout.

Great mix of country-rock and disco Dead. Jerry’s accompaniment helps make this one. > into a good “Big River” featuring Keith especially.

Yeah, I don't think this is better than 02-05 by a long shot. Yes, the playing is as superior as you would expect from this time, and Jerry's "let it burn" lights up the band. But Bobby's thin sounding, out-of-tune slide practice mars an otherwise all-time version.

Goofy and amped up at the same time. Ending vocal jam is solid and interesting.

fantastic, great interplay during the solo. This whole show is phenomenal.

Jerry's on fire all night (and I'm a Garcia fanatic), but you're totally right, Phil makes this. The Pigpen/Garcia interplay is also pretty cool.

Rager, monster Garcia solos.
