Very energetic version from a period when that wasn't a given.

A surprisingly powerful version, JG very passionate and on-top of it. Especially given it had to follow a LWTGH which fizzled into nothing.

Very powerful Bobby on this one: his acoustic pairs nicely with strong vocals. And great support from the band & Hornsby as well.

Despite its short length it's not quite a "pro forma" version (a la BCT 84). Some nice moments, especially thanks to BW's nimble work. Also: Mydland's first outing on DS is intriguing to hear.

This - and the whole show - is a great example of the Dead as "acid rockers": whatever that means, and for better or for worse.

Also, don't forget that great transition into Sittin, a tune they'd worked up with Keith and had brought back (briefly) into the repertoire.

Incredible jam, this version really shows what the tune is capable of.

Garcia's solo on this one out of the vocal breakdown is a brilliant moment. Bubbling over the top, absolute greatness.
