Jerry and Brent feeling it. Interesting Bertha > CB 2nd set opener

Jerry takes charge in the jam and doesn't put a foot wrong. Waits for the others before the peak. Deceptively profound version.

In true perverse fashion, the Dead backed Dylan at his lowest point. But the way he sings this - on the wrong chords - has an insane urgency.

Jerry seizes on an interesting theme in the solo and tears it up in the coda.

Might be the first version where Jerry solos for three choruses. Good vibes.

What they start playing at minute 17 will make you stop doing what you're doing.

Jerry and Bobby sound great on this jam. High spirits.
