Beautiful solo; all else being equal that's what matters most...

It's hard for me to fathom how Veneta has more votes than this.

This show is so long my brain is drooping by this point. I voted for it anyway, I'll have to listen to it first next time and see if it deserves it.

This might be the best ever. I listened to 11-11-73 today (for the zillionth time) and this too, and I like this better--the band has a lower center of gravity, more heft and cohesion, and gravity in the other sense--some years and mileage. The first minute alone is sublime--everyone is bubbling along playing slightly offset from each other, then Garcia calls the official start and they all come together seamlessly. I think Jerry jumps his cue with the first vocal, but no one misses a beat.
