The most "Spanish-flavored" of LIG's, evokes old southwest almost Mariachi vibe. Brilliant Garcia changes-Rise&Fall!

Recent Road Trips release is a perfecto: Outstanding vocals from Jerry and a jam after the lyrics that grooves and rocks super-hard. 5-star version!

Jerry's voice just exactly bluesy perfect...groovy & slow acoustic cadence & the boys harmonizing sweetly on the chrouses. Outstanding early version

A+ for the crowd alone. Are there better ones? Of course. But I was there & the ecstacy after 14 years of no Box makes this version legendary.

Astonishingly strong Jerry vocals, especially given the year, and some of the prettiest Hornsby-led fills make this one a real great sleeper pick.

Always on the lookout for great versions of this song, one of my all time favorite Jerry tunes and I think a bit underappreciated, so thanks for pointing me to this show, which I was only vaguely aware of and will check out more. If I can be a bit nit-picky about this one, it's that Jerry's old nemesis, the blown lyric, pops up at an especially bad time. After kinda flubbing the "here's a half a dollar" line the first time around, he brings it back when it's time for "broken heart don't feel so bad" after the second jam break. Again, a small thing in the overall scheme, but I like this song so much I get protective of it ;-) Still, lot to like here. This one strikes me as that rare version in which Garcia's first instrumental break may outshine his second. This one's just country-beautiful, flowing and gentle and a joy to the ear. The final repeated choruses are also better done than many, with a picked-up gait and noticeable reggae infusion. This won't crack my top 5 list (3/20/77, 4/12/78, 2/28/73, 9/18/74, 2/4/78), but it's worthy of upvote and further listening.

Wow. Getting called out by not one, but 2 of my favorite posters! Tough crowd, but you gotta love Deadheads being honest. We'll just have to agree to disagree on this one, fellas. I listened again recently and enjoyed this PITB thoroughly top to finish. And deadprof you're right that Keith is a great presence here, I just think Billy really drives this one along. Still will campaign for this one to go higher, though, despite yours and cgarces' objections ;-)

Really like most of this, including the brief drum solo by Billy that doesn't go on too long and then leads right into the main theme and then the first sung verse. Unfortunately after that it degrades into a meandering Phil solo followed by just uninteresting noise + some feedback and it goes on entirely too long until seguing into a really pretty Eyes, which is very very good. Can't vote for this one, even though everything pre-verse is as advertised...jazzy, mellow, some nice Phil-led bass jazz exploration.

Rollicking good version. Takes the silver to 10/29/77's gold but it's almost a photo finish. Fantasmagoric Scarlet>Fire at this show, too.

They did this song so well this year in so many different shows it's hard to remember to give the ones with a little extra mustard some props. This is one of them.
