Gotta love Bobby's purposely played off-key note during the intro to China Cat. Great Version.

Wild and weird. The post verse jam gets to that out of control, yet in control space that only the Dead can get to.

At about the 20:30 mark you can hear Jerry play the opening riff to Morning Dew. Bobby and Keith willing join, but Phil thunderously defies the call and demands all to stay in orbit. An incredible jam ensues headlined by some awesome playing by Keith.

Taking this as an entire music section of Playin>Drums>DS>Morning Dew>Playin it certainly constitutes as some of the best Dead music around. A must listen to if you havent, and relisten to if you have.

This one is almost too much to listen to. Really really INTESE playin', your brain isn't melted its pummeled into your skull.

The Fire is absolutely where it's at. Incredible Jerry Solos throughout.
