My only chance to make it to a Dead show and I blew it. Wish I'd been there for this majestic version.

Jerry compensates for flubbing the middle-8 lyrics with a subsequent solo of great beauty. Apart from said fuck-up, this is a really lovely version.

Brent's quite high in the mix and you can really appreciate what he's doing behind the solos. Swings and rolls along nicely.

Really swings.
He's Gone

Richfield Coliseum

Love that mellow, mellifluous, semi-acoustic jamming.
Eyes Of The World

Hara Arena

Sweet as a nut. I like the transition from Estimated too. There's a few seconds where you think they might not make it but they stumble with style into the Eyes groove.
