Laser effects from Brent's hammond, collective funk with downright blazing passages; On par with NYE 84', Smoking X-factor opener

Drums -> Space the opportunity to find ones way to Neptune, this Space achieves liftoff and descent in transitioning into a blissful Dew

X factor jamming with Garcia playing some unique soaring leads in the modal scale. Ending jam has similarities to a strong version on 10/12/83.

Garcia on fire

Drips with jazzy interludes and nautical submarine excursions, including, a moment where Garcia lands on a Slipknot phrase. Doesn't lose itself, and descends into a Stella Blue that shatters, an exploration here, really.

Carrion_Crow-- 100% with you on this show and year. There is something righteously authentic about these acoustic sets. The eclectic essence of the band I believe hit a pinnacle in terms of psychedelic infused americana. To me 1970 is the realest year for the group. All the love, hope, and ideas set forth all mixed into a medley of folky acid drenched greatness, such sweet sweet music, this Rosalie and Ripple and To Lay Me Down (with that mysterious piano-- is that Jerry playing?), and also that-- Friend of The Devil, Oh fucking man is that friendly or what! To me that and 9-27-72 are the best of the bunch for that tune. But just a sublime set, one of those that just smacks you in the face with a bucket full of fairy dust and magic mixed with water and acid, a powerful dose suffused right through the roots of your hair. Gotta be considered one of the best acoustics.

I did hear the St. Stephen tease Nonoyolker picked up, but perhaps to make sure, somebody else should pitch in and see what they hear.

A legendary rap and version, crowd is stuck to the ceiling nuts and the whole band is whirling in a cosmic swirl of telepathy.

Group crowd enlightenment, collectively, individually, and spiritually, one of those versions of a song that kicks so much ass that once finished with a listening episode, one nearly, as if automatic, feels the deep twangs of a hidden nostalgia rooted deep in a past time, a powerful groping feeling, the power of this NFA is unbridled and unharnessed. Free with emotion and love; essential listening.
