I loved the return of this song. This is a great version in an oustanding 1st set.

Kicks off potentially the most epic set 2, with a bouncy excellent version of the song. Forget the lyrical flubs.

After an incredible opening jam the Dead pull off a very nearly flawless rendition.

The bridge to Rider is beautiful in any era. The band was feeling it in Alpine.

One of my favorite shows ever. Ned Lagin performs and adds some weirdness which may have helped to send the Dead into the nether regions and beyond here.

Love the jam here. I always needed the closure of a reprise.
