Excellent bridge. The band extends and extends and never loses their way. Very heady version.

I love the jam on this one. The interplay between Jerry and Brent is excellent. This is the start of a real face melt pre-drums.

Great '84 jammin'. Jer stays on the edge of the tracks almost dropping off and the jam goes on and on.

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.
