Several relentless guitar passages throughout.

Hard to believe this is an AUD. 8:00-8:40 is a good example - crystal clear and tight.

Not too fast and not too slow with some nice double time at the end.

Jerry has laryngitis, so only Bobby tunes set 2 this day, and Keith Godchaux takes over the 2nd half of this PITB, especially the last 5 minutes.

This is an eleven minute Deal with a bunch of ebbs, flows and peaks.

Let's do it - I have a friend in Annapolis too.

I value your judgment. And I love the song too. I might make listening to the 77 half steps my next project - I know some, but not all - and I know that 10/7 is not on the archive. We'll have to talk.

Well, darkstar, I certainly hold your dead thoughts in high esteem. Indeed, you've shown me some half steps - most recently that 9/1/79 one. I'm surprised that you - and many others - don't like this version. To be honest, I hear 11/6 as a sloppier version than 11/5 and I hear a less faithful source. The guys who used to run the now defunct dead clubhouse site used to talk about the bias that comes with the first version that one gets into. 9/3/77 was the first one for me, but when I heard this one that changed. At any rate, to each his own, my friend.

I agree, Grendel, and I usually do with your posts. '77 is the year. Lately I've been enjoying the very few half steps from the fall of '79. I will throw my hat in with this DP34 version as the best. The pre rio grandeo is my absolute favorite episode for this song. I fill out my top 5 like this: 9/3/77, 11/6/77, 5/17/77 and 10/28/79. I hope this post from Grendel elicits a nice thread.
