GSET-esque rhythm playing from Bobby as the song progresses. Set 2 is a SM -> SSDD sandwich, worth hearing.

Pine Knob Music Theater

Six minutes of outro jamming that begins mellow and then starts rocking. Jerry and Brent harmonize for a little while at the beginning.

Average version, but this is probably the best place to mention that Jerry starts playing Terrapin before this one starts, leading to a brief jam.

Warfield Theatre

Played every night of the 3/29-31 Warfield run, I'd say this is the best of the three. Good vocal and guitar solo, and Brent shines throughout.

Hampton Coliseum

Admittedly not as great as the DP13 version played 5 nights later, but still worthy of mention. This gets to that bluesy space in the outro.

“We have a winner”, indeed.

Garcia in your face, way up in the mix. This is apparently a Cryptical Reprise only, but the setlist tells the tale, and the quality of the CM remaster backs it up and then some! Great dynamics from the band during the jam as well.

LOL, the band pulls the rug out from under Bobby as he is about to sing one more chorus.

Rhythm Devils adding a little more rock-steady feeling to the final choruses, worth checking out.
