Stunningly beautiful version. Jerry's solo is second to none.

Whoa, this is absolutely scorching. Never thought I'd hear one from 1979 this unbelievably hot!

Wow, this version pretty much has it all; aggression, melody, and weirdness galore. Phil and Jerry are just huge here.

Garica is amped! Some intense jamming before the 1st verse even. Great AUD for '69 too.

This one almost starts off as a slow burner, but builds into some seriously high energy jamming with lots of epic Garcia trills. Love it!

I am inclined to agree about this show and best of '77 status. IMHO, fall '77 is just as good as the spring.

Legendary!

Definitely surprised by this one. I've written off most versions from '77 as "weak" and lacking in exploration when compared to the monsters of pre-hiatus Dead, but this is absolutely worthy. Amazing spacey jams from Jerry and the boys!!

Hot, sweaty, blues pouring out of Jerry's guitar, with some really great jamming on the Nobody's Fault theme.
