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

Love the sound of the more primal/raw tones of '71 dead mixed with this intimate song. Somehow works even though it shouldn't. The outro is the highlight here. Noisy, chaotic, perfect

On fire. The sounds JG is making are like intergalactic murmurs. Incredible

Is that a little china cat jam from Bobby at 3:51? This is on fire. Dueling guitars + mediating Phil with an attitude-laden Pig on vox. Doesn't get a whole lot better than this

Oh ya. This is the goods right here. I need to listen to more '71. I thought Jer was playing a Les Paul here at first but upon further research he was playing some kind of weird cello-looking guitar. Couldn't find much info on it but it looks/sounds wild

I'd really like to see this show dusted off and released if it's in the vault. This eyes is spectacular even if the only source is this less than optimal AUD. Not sure what happened w the 2nd set SBD as it seems Estimated is all that's survived.
