Fast and energetic with some really inspired moments, despite harsh keys sound.

Groovy encore, lyrics nailed.

Hartford Civic Center

Great vocals from all and the solos are really sweet. Lesh is all over this and the reggae ending is nicely handled. Whole gig's a good 'un.

Uncle John's Band
Sept. 29, 1977
Paramount Theatre

Encore with crazy drumming, Weir's guitar nice and high in the mix, and Garcia relentless. Vocals are pretty good too.

Just brought a tear to my eye. In a good way.

Great call. Lovely vocal.
Tennessee Jed

Easttown Theatre

Spot on, Carrion. Jed with attitude.
Jack Straw
May 15, 1980
Nassau Coliseum

A Jack Straw for the ages. Jerry's cookin' and the others keep up all the way into a well-underrated 'Franklin's'. Singing great on both.
Playin' In The Band
Aug. 6, 1974
Roosevelt Stadium

Jerry playing like Coltrane over early 70s Miles. Everyone takes a turn in leading the jam at some point. Dead at their dancingest. Just been chucked out of bed after leg-jiggling too much with the headphones on.
