Love how Jerry starts his first solo. The rest is great too. His playing is easy and free.

Jerry sounds tired and pained here, which of course is perfect. For some reason he usually doesn't nail the solo in this tune but he does here.

The peak from Jerry and Bobby in the coda is very intense.

This PITB won't change your life like it did Bman's but it has great playing from Bobby and Brent.

It's not a complicated tune and yet Jerry loses the form several times. Not likely to endear Deadheads to this new addition. It is amusing to hear him get pissed and play power chords tho.

Bobby decides to take a completely new approach to this tune here and it's awesome.
