Great second set version after a 45 minute jam and emotive China Doll.

Major screw-up of the lyrics here, Pig tries to make up for it and then Jerry just steals the show. I can dig.

I just can't get over how "perfect" sounding everything from June 76 is....Better than the studio versions because of the improv but so many songs that all just sound like everyone's on the same page and on their A game, all the time.

Is '73 the year of He's Gone? Between this, the 5/26 Kezar Stadium one, and 3/24, 3 of my favorites versions ever

This third set with ABB is awesome - loving hearing the different guitar style added to these tunes. And my goodness, the teases in this and That's Alright, Mama are incredible
