Jerry's mic craps out at the beginning and as per usual he mangles the words, but the solos are rippin'!

Gorgeous version, like most versions. Jerry sounds so sweet here.

Nearly 20 minutes...good jamming on the main theme before a very nice melt down later on. Not quite 12/16/94 but still very good.

Completely torched. Jerry hits his solo like they owe him a million a dollars.

One of my favorite Dead live performances of all. Such energy. So glad it I have the honor of letting it edge 3/18/95; that version is fun, but this one manages to be both fun and loose as well as tight and intense. I adore this performance.

The end of the first half when they start to transition into "Saint of Circumstance" is so hauntingly beautiful. "Saint" seems like a bizarre choice for "Dark Star" to segue into, but it leads so some spectacular work from Hornsby, who also shines on the second half. Phil is a beast throughout.

Not the best "Playin'," but man Phil is ON FIRE for this one.

This is the version where I really feel in love with this pairing. Super jammed out and rockin'.
