Crazy slide licks, wondeful version from a show with one of the best second sets of all time! Jerry goes nuts a little over 3 minutes in . . .

Best of the best of the 77-78 versions. Jerry absolutely ripping licks and vocals ... "Run and See!!" series absolutely off-the-wall, then into S. Mag

Can't believe no one posted this. Far superior to 7/17/76. Filler on the new release (Jan 2012). Comes out of Wharf Rat!

Listened to this again tonight -- part of an absolutely incredible 80 minute sequence that's the sweetest, dreamiest stuff I've ever heard the boys play. Some all-time Dead moments happen in this Stella -- totally out of this world.

So much in this show ... the Casey Jones and Dupree Diamond Blues, and this LIG are all superb.
