In tune both instrumentally and vocally. Best of 95 perhaps? Low bar. David Murray guest sax. Some high pitch tones in the closing jam.

Bruce really helps lift this solid rocker. Everyone’s on, especially Phil.

FANTASTIC! Jerry’s first midi solo is top notch, Brent has a grate solo too, and the energy is high.

When Jerry brings his flute to the second jam section, he lays down a pretty sweet solo.

Phil truly leading the charge on that jam! And throughout the song, honestly...

I love the explosion at 16 minutes, the cacophony that it is. And I am curious after 9 minutes, is that Ned? Or is it Keith? There's an 'essay' on what's called the Grateful Dead Guide, and it states, "The nedbase site conclusively shows that it was Keith (who was unusually adventurous that day) - Ned wasn't there."- something to ponder. Regardless, it's a nice exploration. Not a fan of the high-pitched noise around 22 minutes, though.
