Powerful combo in the middle of one of my favorite second sets. Powerful drums, and listen to Garcia give that diminished chord a workout!

This just put me in two places at once. Calendar cycles.

Yes! Organic. Hive mind. Collective consciousness. Truly special stuff.

I personally thought this Bertha > GL was the weakest part of the show, but that's just me. I agree that this is a serious contender for the best of '77, though. The entire show is killer.

Just wanted to add that after living with this version for a while and checking out the whole show, I really like this version. Truly phenomenal playing.
