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

In the pocket indeed. I can never get enough of the Jerry smolder tone, y'all know what I'm talkin about.

This whole show rules. Just look at that setlist, how could it not rule?

Right on the money Ernie. This version brings the heat in that silky ā€˜77 manner and Jerry delivers strong, lucid fretboard wizardry. I second you on your love for the Bean. Personally Iā€™d go for the ā€˜78 Wolf tones before anything else but the Bean is tied for my #2 alongside alligator.

Nice version. Don't think I've ever heard a "bad" or less than stellar estimated

Yeah I can't believe this wasn't already submitted. More ears need to hear this. Jerry's opening intro shred is so, so good. The best LIGs transition smoothly from the silky, gentle verse flourishes into the fiery, explosive jamming and this one does it great.
