This one has guts and a real slow percussive groove. Love it.

Ends a wonderful sequence (Terrapin -> Playin' -> Drums-> Lost Sailor-> Saint-> Wharf Rat) Jerry's definitely still feeling it in his solos; solid

Slow and stoney, great show and crystal-clear board to boot

Smoking hot, as many of the Big River's are after the hiatus. Check them all out.

I'm just going to keep commenting on this -- hopefully more people will come around to it. Unreal . . . Stoney . . . Psychedelic . . . listen now.

Seriously funky -- off the new May 77 official release ; out of a prety special half-step, too.

This one was the highlight of the whole night for me -- really good energy slowly building to some serious intensity -- into Comes A Time. Great pick.

Very saddened they mixed Donna's last round of vocals out on the new Complete Europe set. My bootleg boards of this are much better than the release . . . I really can't get my head around why they would do that . . . this is one of Donna's best moments with the band. Don't think it's keeping with the spirit of the band and I'm truly disappointed they would chop up my Dead . . . this version is some of the most heartfelt GD of all-time, IMHO . . .

The band takes it really slow and bobby and donna are more than up for the challenge. A great rendition, with beautiful playing from phil, jerry and keith, too!
