This is in the gd movie bonus disc so there's no reason why you can't find and you need to. Also, like, the Stella blue they go into is in the movie. so is like the sugar mag, he's gone, and Casey jones.. Top shelf 74

Thought to be on the steal your face album bear and Phil mixed. Also you can watch it as a bonus feature with the grateful dead movie.

my god this is as good as it gets for the dead and sugaree. Seems jgb could crank out hot versions like this quite consistently. I just love how much those 2 bands differ from each other. Jerry was a master musician. The whole first set is Garcia goodness

Unique guitar tone. Honestly, can't see much else to love about this one. Maybe a tad over hyped, but who am I to say?

Just absolutely blows other stand alone versions out of the water. Egads!
