The rippers from June are well-loved, but this version brings just as much heat. Keith and Billy having fun playing with the 3-on-2 Other One rhythm.

Part of the Dancin' sandwich. The outro jam isn't as deep as Cobo Hall two nights later, but it's certainly good enough to be listed here

Good version from an overall great Vince show

"What you got to say, Vince?" Vince says it well, Jerry picks out two great solos, and Bobby's slide solo isn't awful!

Hilarious response by Phil to the "Let Phil sing" chants at the top of this show. "Make Phil sing"?

Emotionally heavy, with the accompaniment trudging slowly but proudly up the great hill. And like cgarces said, Garcia delivers excellent vocals and a tear-jerking guitar solo.

Difficult song to play correctly, but the band does a great job here. Nice segue into Terrapin as well. Kind of a sneaky-great second set...

Jerry's cadenza at 29:13-29:35 is the perfect arrival after this long, heavy version.

Zeppelin never jammed with the Dead; as the story goes, the GD crashed a Zep photo shoot and Pigpen spooked the English band by showing off his pistol. Too bad - Pigpen's harmonica and the nasty blues groove sounds similar to LZ's takes on You Shook Me and Bring It On Home.
