Listen to the SBD of this for a great example of Bobby's subtle, beautiful playing

Listen to how Jerry begins the second chorus of his solo. Brilliant. Mickey drives this hard too. Heat builds up in the set leading to this.

Solid version of this tune. Less of a trainwreck when played later in the set it seems.

First great post-coma moment. Phil is unbelievable throughout. Jerry's in it to win it. Check the SBD.

I recommend this mix for Phil: https://archive.org/details/gd79-04-22.sbd.bennett.12001.sbeok.shnf/gd79-04-22d3t04.shn

Phil and Jerry are really feeling it on Brent's first tune. You know it's going to be alright when you hear the first note Phil plays.

Leave it to the Dead to play one of the best ever versions of a tune after not playing it for years and before playing it about 10,000 more times.

This coda made me lose control of the car. And I wasn't even driving. Needs votes.

Best Other One of this era. Phil is out of his mind. Listen to him in the intro.
