Both Jerry solos are absolutely transcendental. Probably my new favorite version of the year.

Top notch energetic and jazzy jam out of this version, with a cool little noodle/space section before they dissolve into drums.

Fantastic play by Jerry; the post verse jamming especially soars with emotion and intensity.

I revisited this one recently, and I should add that Garcia plays some of the most viciously fluid runs I've ever heard on this song. Should be ranked higher, it's an A+ version for sure.

Been a favorite ever since I first heard Dick's Picks, vol. 11

Agreed on all points. A unique, almost minimalistic version but so perfect at the same time. Also major points for filling the rare encore slot.

Hollywood Bowl

Unique version, but the sound of this AUD is what really blows me away...one of the best this side of 8/6/71.
