I used to love 'bama openers. I think the Dead may have liked Maine just a bit.

I love this version. Slipknot is especially essential material. Great thoughtful jamming by all. Well weaved together and it never gets itself lost. But yes, as much as I love 84 there is always that flub. This one is indeed funny. Almost flawless to these ears outside of that mistake.

Bobby cuts Jerry off at a point where he was seriously going somewhere super heavy but still some incredible jamming going on here. This may be my new return version favorite as well.
