How so badly I wish he could just dust off those old rusty strings just one more time!

A sweet first set opener that they don't seem to want to let got of. The jam at the end just carries on nicely and keeps building.

This was the first version I heard sung by someone other than Merle Haggard. It's been my favorite version ever since.

Great version out of what can only be describes as a weird set. Stand alone Fire in the first set? Cryptical>Other One after The Wheel?

The first time I heard this on tape, my friend made me give him my cassette and wouldn't give me the set list and made me listen to the show blind. I couldn't control myself. I don't know if this individual version is the greatest but this show, especially the end, is the best thing the boys ever put together.

2*13*70 Should be the starting point for anyone getting to the Dead. As far as I'm concerned it dominates Barton Hall.
headyversion loves the dead but is in no way affiliated with The Grateful Dead or affiliated enterprises. find out more >:) >:)
