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.

Great transition out of Mama Tried! Real cool little western pair in the middle of a fantastic first set

Love this song when it's as hot as this set closer, am not a fan at all when it's not played well. Probably my most on the fence Dead tune but boy do they kill it here. Bobby as high energy as ever
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

I am a sucker for Feelin' Groovy but this China Cat is red hot all the way through with a tremendous transition into Rider. Not to be missed for sure - definitely underrated following the PNC show from the 22nd. Rider is also great here, just full of energy like any great China>Rider from this era! Rider might be better than 6/22..?

This whole show is just so Miami Dead, it's perfect. Also BIODTL is a banger
