Final jam here is smoking. Crowd is roaring and the whole band is on fire.

Cooks powerfully, absolutely spaced out version. Really cool improvisation here, really great stuff.

A psychedelic mind-fuck. Some racing and cool interweaving beats and solos. Really flowing and awesome version.

This is my hands-down favorite M&MU. Garcia's hook into his solo pierces ice. Just love the fills provided by all. Perfect rendition of one of my favorite Dead cowboy songs.

There is no Bertha played on this date. I think your confusing this with the 2/5/78 version on DP 18, which has already been posted.

Charged, and absolutely ripping final jam. They push the limit of whats possible shredding wise in this song, and possibly escape the stratosphere of what they thought was possible in the first place. This is what 78' gives you, super high energy, super high intensity jamming.
