For the love of Jerry you MUST listen to this immediately. Cease all other activities and prepare to have your jaw hit the floor!

Seguing out of a sick Franklin's Tower it gets fast, flawless rolling licks from Jerry and great timing from the rest +killer final Jam

Sweet end to a magical show. Perfect harmonies w/Brent. Only flaw is when Bob says "careful up there" to someone doin' somethin' werid in the rafters

Talk about slipping through the cracks: This is a classic long, jamming sick slick trip thru both tunes. Intro to FIRE one of the best ever performed

Outstanding version with a nice Jerry-led jam early in the tune, after the first verse.

A recent re-listening has me back to add that because there's no "bad" version of tbhis song in 1972 it's the versions that do stand out if even a little that warrant extra attention, because so many are so good that some get lost in the mix. What makes this one stand out for me is the approach to the mid-song drum break & the slightly mellower drop-down into that transition point, a subtle but noticeable veering from what you hear in most versions around this mark in the tune. Garcia takes a bit of a wander from the ,main theme but deftly finds his way back & the song takes on more of an exploratory feel as a result. So much laid back goodness in this one, a recommendation for fans of the classic 6/22/73 but with its own distinct dreamy quality.

I'll get on this bandwagon. I know the official releases sometimes get an undeserved bump but in a case like this the nice balance between board & crowd really does help shine a light on a very strong late 80's style BirdJam. There are multiple peaks of varying degree & approach & all are worthy of the audience appreciation they receive. Not my favorite year for this tune by a long shot but this one deserves some big board love.

^Joining the Happy Birthday celebration for my favorite all time show, too. Also this is a great RORose.

One of THE best "nothing left to do but smile smile SMILE!!" vocals Jerry ever did. Rest of this underrated monster cooks & percolates too. Dead always rocked the gah-din.

Intro to this undervalued lightning fast played Jerry note-upon -note-fest is unreal. Phil follows hot on Jerry's heels. This has a lot in common with 11/5/79 (see up the ladder) but that one's more relaxed...this one's like a '79 version of Colgate 11/4/77. Speedy but in in the pocket so. Could use more ears.
