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

Right out of the chutes, no warm-up high octane Dead. Cool Brent solo drives into a MANIC Jerry jam.
Comes A Time

War Memorial

Hell yeah this is the top performance of this beautiful song. It's outstanding.

Kicks off a triplet of Garcia songs. This version is smooth and transitions sweetly into Comes a Time. Beautiful.

I love Jerry's run up the neck to start the 2nd solo. And Keith's got the honky tonk keys going on. Like it!

Vote here for Brent's solo alone. Great stuff.
