Jerry's solo to close this one out is hard-driving and aggressive.

This particular version of this particular universe doesn't have a better one than this.

Well worth a listen. Sloppy and tight all at once.

Maybe I'm just being a bit lazy of mind, but I don't think I've heard a version from '77 that tops this one.
Playin' In The Band

Hartford Civic Center

A worthwhile version from the post-hiatus Godchaux years (none of that pensive timidity in the jamming). If you like Keith's keys from the 4/23/77 'Slipknot' you may want to check this one out, and vice versa.

Something a little too speckless about this one for me.

Boston Music Hall

Wow, the first 15 seconds of this one on the Sick Bits matrix is super heady in a feel-good way. Awesome stuff, awesome 'Star.

Each of the Estimateds from July '78 serve up a sweet outro jam.
