Holy cow. Wow. Scorches. So does the Candyman. And this is followed by a beautiful Masterpiece.

First one after Brent's death. First one with Bruce being officially part of the gang. Pretty significant. Felt like we'd probably survive...

Fiery, galloping build up. Maybe this was overshadowed by the 9/19 version, but this one rips.

Beast of a Sugaree from a beast of a show.

Yep. That jam builds like a majestic Grateful Dead Bolero, from the minute they stop singing, around 2 minutes in, for the next 12 minutes or so, and when Weir comes back, singing, it's just a beautiful thing.... we just don't want it to end. So again, if you can... please, PLAY IT LOUD.

Exactly right. Most have heard it, but if you have not..... please.... PLAY IT LOUD. Technically could still be the anniversary since everyone who was there were still feeling it at this time, 50 years ago.... I suppose... Some are probably still feeling it today....!!
