Builds to a nice climax after some interesting lines from Garcia. Whole show is worth a listen.

Ends a great Set II sequence. Listen to the drummers play along with the whistle blower in the audience!

If this had been tracked along with the preceding "Playin,'" everyone would have said "of course." This whole second set is killer.

Exploratory version right out of "Terrapin." Donna sounds great, and Phil leads the jam.

The transition into the "Terrapin Station" material is particularly strong, with powerful playing from Keith.

Nice energy on this. Don't miss the birthday celebration for the monitor guy either.

So far, I haven't heard a bad song from this show. This version of "Loser" is a bit faster than I usually like it (I prefer versions where the tempo is closer to a dirge), but there's a really nice cowboy-swagger thing going on here.

It's got a vote from me. Nice reading of this song.
