Quite simply some of the best guitar interplay between Garcia and Weir ever!

Garcia's guitar tone here is pure liquid magic

a shorter version, but that frees it up to me more intense

this one is truly unreal. Primal Dead circa 1970. The jam in the middle sounds unlike anything ive ever hear - peaking and peaking and peaking. Then Feedback into We Big You Goodnight . . . phew!

When I really want to enter into the Garcia zone - i put this one on. His playing is ridiculous, Exhibit A for his part as greatest guitarist ever. Lightning fast, yet with enormous soul. Amazing

the segue into El Paso alone makes this one signficant, but yea what a scary workhorse version. Has it all. But not for the lighthearted - this is relaly belly of the beast
