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

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.

Paramount Theatre

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

Good call DarkStar. Jerry's vocal on this one. Wow. Really sweet and incredibly soulful in that just on the edge of not quite making it but getting there beautifully way he had.

Keith swings like hell on this.

The audience make this one special, giving Jerry all the encouragement he needs to sing and play a blinder. Surprised it's not higher on the list. Always brings a smile to my face.

Spent ten minutes defying my arthritis and dancing to this in the kitchen yesterday when I should have been doing the ironing. Doesn't get said enough - the Dead were a helluva dance band.
