Jazzy, speedy and energetic...but don't let the grimey SQ deter you...this is worth it!

Mournful and Triumphant all at once. A mind-crushing outro by JG...best of the '70s IMO.

No doubt a legendary version, but IMO 5/22/77 smokes this one. No contest.

Absolutely! I agree this one has it all over 5/8/77.

Excellent flowing and moody version with a great Garcia lead space transition into Stella B.

Very good version, but I like the ones from May '77 a bit better. The 2nd instrumental break is really interesting though, with Keith and Jerry getting into a sweet little duel of sorts.
