Great version out of a nice Bird Song that suffers due to only an audience recording existing. Still definitely worth the listen though

Real short, might as well be the outro jam of Playin into a tremendous St. Stephen
Dire Wolf

Shrine Auditorium

More than makes up for it with His gee-tar playing. Real good solo in this one
El Paso

The Austin Municipal Auditorium

My non-Deadhead girlfriend hearing this segment: “this music is so chaotic!” Well heck yes it is and they’re the only band who could pull this off, let alone attempt it. Great version with two awesome transitions on either end

Seamless transition into China Cat. Comes out of nowhere. This type of juxtaposition is just one wonderful reason why primal Dead is just so damn great
