Haunting materialization out of “Space,” nice playing from Jerry and Brent

Glacial tempo allows the inherent beauty of the song to come through, and allows Garcia greater flexibility in his leads.

I can't add anything new to what you've all said, but I full agree.

Thanks nonoyolker! I've got a hankering to explore, and I've learned a lot of great shows from this site. Care to recommend one of your favs?

I hate using the term "stand out" on a night when the entire band is playing *really* well collectively and individually, but this is absolutely a superior version. Many thanks for turning me onto this show!!

Nice reading. Slight misstep at the end of the solo, but that's me being super picky, and is the first possible one I've heard yet in the show. So glad you recommended this!!

Want to add something about Keith's playing on this... I don't know what rig he's on, but it sounds gnarly here.
