Almost beyond description. The last full jam leading into the GDTR chorus is a perfect storm example of what made the Dead magic

Gotta check out the "small" songs in legendary shows like this as well as the usual suspects! Check out Jerry's utterly perfect bridge jam & be in awe

If you don't know Saxophonist David Murray, here's a good way to find out how great he is. This is one stellar Birdsong that flew under the radar here

Is there anything prettier, sweeter or more sublimely lovely than Keith's piano in this version? You decide. This TLEO is incredible.

New #1 favorite. Slightly more compact than other amazing '77 versions & so a bit more focused. 2d Garcia solo has no equal.

Very well played Help>Slip, and a great intro to Franklin's. Jerry does some interesting work in the FRanklin's outro jam after the last verse. Not crazy about the rest of the Franklin's, however. Jerry blows a bunch of lyrics, doesn't really do much with his solos, and the rest of the band provides little color or adventure in the meat of the Franklin's either. On the fence about an up-vote here, but it's easily one of the better post-Brent versions, but there are so many other versions from other eras that excite more as a whole. Worth checking out at least for the first two sections.

Really impressed with this. Great Bruce contributions on accordion and Vince is filling nicely too. Jer hits all the right vocal intonations and nails the lyrics. Best post-Brenr version by far. Has me ready to listen to the rest of the show.

Totally agree with ^^^^ Great version here, lots of energy from Jerry and a real commitment to the vocals. Excellent box set and run of shows.

Very worthy, at a loss as to why it wasn't already listed. Nice flowing version from one of the great shows of a brilliant month/year.

A+ for emotion, B- for actual playing/singing/execution. Given the glowing comments here I had to check this out & I guess this is my too-critical stance on judging any post '90 version, but I just can't get past 1) Jerry's sad croaky vocals, 2) the sour notes hit during many of the quieter passages before we get to that ripping ending and 3) the fact that I never really warmed to this song, which just seems a bit silly to my ears, with clunky lyrics like "I can see El Salvador", which, I don't know, seems to diminish the actual experience one would have actually "standing on the moon" and viewing the whole of the Earth. Am I overthinking it? Most probably, yes, and I recognize how "you kids get off my lawn!" I must sound in my nitpickery, but this is why latter day Dead leaves me cold. (I still maintain that Built To Last isn't just a shitty Dead album, it's a shitty album period.) However (if anyone is still reading this and hasn't tuned me out yet), I must admit also that the shredding Jerry does near the end of this is really spectacular and stands up to anything he's done in any era, and bringing back the 'be with you" vocal at the tail end of it is a masterful touch. It's all emotion at that juncture, real and pure and no one but Jerry could pull that off in just that way. It's what I suspect gives this version its #1 ranking and I suppose to argue otherwise would be foolish, given that other versions would contain exactly the same flaws that annoyed me in this one, and wouldn't have necessarily that emotional pay off. No upvote here, but an admission that I'm probably missing something that the rest of you are getting loud and clear.
