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

Checked out this second set for the first time today, lives up to the hype 100%. This d>s is just awesome and the meld back into playin is A1 Grateful Dead. Happy to add my vote

Very tribal sounding. If you close your eyes you might feel like you're about to get sacrificed to the Grateful Gods

This one is definitely respectable but the only super fast eyes I can really get behind is still Colgate '77, and its largely because that one isn't TOO too fast. I find that the faster the song gets the less room there is for the creative phrasing that's engineered to align with the chord changes; that element to me is what makes the solo sections give you those unmistakable GD goosebumps. The tempo on 8/6/74 for example is probably just about perfect. Not knocking this one by any means as it's one of the better 80s renditions I've heard, just not my cup of tea personally.

I had no idea that demo even existed, pretty sick. Love that ambient buzz. Lots of neat little tunes and Pig's dirty blues vox in top form

This is a beautiful performance, not sure why I'm only just now listening. First two solos are knocked out of the park-- listen for Keith's delicate, beautiful backing in the second solo. Outro smokes as has been pointed out already. Top shelf '73
