This one is just ridiculously good. Jerry's solo is fantastic, and the band is on all the way through.

Another one of those "not sure why it's" great versions. The Philly crowd singalong is great too!

Great tight version, with an authorative Garcia solo.

The jam has some elements of a '74 before rolling into UJB.

Agreed, this one reaaly could be much higher. It's amazing that the band would bang out this monster version, as an encore, after such an epic high-energy ahow.

There is something in the air during this 2nd set. Jerry tears things up.
