First set opener, I really dig the MDs os this era. Still kind of sturdy and brisk but becoming the majestic ballad that it was in the 70s/80s.

This is an all-timer, I say...Garcia plays like a trumpet here, pre-midi...

This is fantastic and should receive votes! On Download Series 7. Garcia's guitar is REALLY loud on the solo!

Not really sure what people are talking about with "cacophony" and "aimless noodling" etc....it's an out there jam, for sure, but it's cohesive in its way. I think the Venusian Red Cross showed up this night. Very appropriate that this is next to 1973-12-06 on the list, both are stupendous but both are outliers, unlike other versions in a way that seems similar to me, even though they don't sound like each other. This one is great.

Jerry always said the notes you don't play are as important as the ones you do
