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.

Coming out of the the first (semi-successful) Cryptical since '72 this TOO comes blasting out the gates and never relents. Pure fire.
Mexicali Blues
Oct. 28, 1977
Soldiers' and Sailors' Memorial Hall

Then why add it to a site that is supposed to be for the BEST versions of songs?

Just exactly perfect.

This surely deserves more love. Attitude abounds.
