Jerry nails almost ALL the verses, and it is a bouncy version.

PERFECT rendition of this song...Jerry nails all the verses...Bruce adds a nice touch on the piano. Final version. Can't go wrong.

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.

I echo all the sentiment listed above, however the vocal flubs are jarring in an otherwise enjoyable version. Will have to compare to 6/18.

Mickey gives it force during the jam, and lift-off!

Should be higher, both for significance as well as delivery. Grate Pig rap.

Fantastic - Jerry brings his flute too! He offers up some good melody lines throughout his solos.
