Lyrically precise, energetic playing, and everyone sounds like they're enjoying themselves. What more could you ask for on this one?

The shorter versions need love to, and this one hits all the sweet spots.

Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

Some fun lyric changes here. Lots of extra sauce from Vince and Bruce make this one extra heady.
Terrapin Station
Feb. 26, 1977
Swing Auditorium

Fantastically well-played, but missing some of the epicness that made this song so special.
West L.A. Fadeaway

Copps Coliseum

The GOAT. I tried to work at home with this version on and I couldn't resist the urge to get up and dance.
Victim Or The Crime

Giants Stadium

Gooey cosmic sludge drips out of the main jam... almost as if you've been sucked into a black hole. Maybe not the usual GD vibe, but a hugely compelling solo from Garcia.
