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

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.
