Sublime. Full heady steam engine coming down the track, check out this deep sounding monster, mellow and contained and nailed

Great cover of an awesome weavers song. The song works well in the encore slot. Really fun listening to it, Jerry singing this song is a real trip!

A fairly short version, but don't let the time fool you, this version is as intense as they come. Its to wonder how they could make this up on the fly

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.
