Rollicking Version...Garcia's solo break make this one shine...Happy and upbeat for a song that state's "Don't murder me"

Deadhead 21 check out spring 78 for elongated bridge solos. 4/16/78 has always been one of my favorites and then there's 7/8/78, this was always my bellwether version.

Just made a comment on the latest Dave's Picks about the Mason's. This one puts all others to absolute shame....period. F'kin A!!

Fillmore Auditorium

Never fully appreciated what a kick ass tune this is. It was always that weird lyrical song that was short lived. However, what a Completely RIPPIN' f'n song. They rock this mother! I think this is my favorite of the 3 from the new Dave's Picks
