Awesome. Very elongated solo and some nice verse flourishes

Not going to dethrone Veneta by any means but still a worthwhile spacey, concise, chilled out rendition. Some nice melodic chord jamming from Garcia.

Was surprised to see this wasn't already here. Phenomenal solo from Jerry and some beautiful cascading keys courtesy of Keith

Very subdued but staccato sounding solos if that makes any sense, pretty standardly great 78 version here

Great rec parrott. I love Jerry's country shredding-- you can always hear how much fun he's having and this version is no exception.

This one is super slept on-- Jerry throws around lots of little riffs. I have yet to hear a less than stellar DS from this tour

This one goes perfectly with the beach in the late afternoon; somehow the 108 degree weather they were playing in really comes through. This star literally sounds like a sunset

Needs more love! This is a really well known show so I'm sort of surprised that it's not getting much attention here. Garcia sounds straight sinister in the closing solo.
