This whole show just has it. The best versions of this song are played with patience into the bridge and the backgrounds are key. This ones a clinic.

Jam>space>drum>China Doll. Slow and mysterious as the song is meant to be played.

2 great shows in Richmond. 1 a DP the other could have been. Jerry brings the boys down to a hush before tha final chorus.

One of my favorite outro jams. Jerry, distortion and Billy's speed drumming.

This bustout version doesn't get enough love. Understood it's not 72 jammy but the ending is the heaviest of Dead. Hey Cuse, I have always wanted to tab Phil's ending jam. It would sure take awhile.

Jerry digs into this final solo. Energy show finished off right!

Barton Hall - Cornell University

Yes indeed. This Stephen>NotFade>Stephen is just exactly perfect. The NotFade is a powerful piece of music, for sure.
