This one is just ridiculously good. Jerry's solo is fantastic, and the band is on all the way through.

Another one of those "not sure why it's" great versions. The Philly crowd singalong is great too!

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

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.
