Probably the best 'Bobby Segment' on this tune that I've heard, and Pig at his greasy best.

I defy anyone to listen to the building crowdgasm and it's eventual disco climax, and not smile. I think from the initial notes of the 2nd set, this crowd *knew* the big furry music beast was going to be slithering out the speakers all night long.

Love the reverb, love the crowd, love the fire in Jerry's belly, I even love Bob's pathological need to over-do it. All that adrenaline and punch just gushes into a beautiful Dew. I'll agree with S&R above, but add.....the stuff before drums is pretty damned hot, too ;^)

You know that whole 'tension and release' thing? Yah? I think somewhere in the last minute of this tune, the Dead invented black metal. It's an almost Viola-ish (in frantic-ness, not tune) pop.
