Featured on the grateful dead hour long ago, this version was instantly my Fav. PHIL!

This is the one underdog show, lack of great SBD you have all been lookin for!

Truely rockin, posted just for the best back up vocals I have heard on this song yet.

Was searching for this for 20 years!! It was an unlabeled filler on one of my old tapes. whoever put it there knew what was up! HERE IT IS FOLKS!!!!!!

Amazing jamming. Very jazzy, some of vince's best work imo. wouldn't call it the best version but definately worth a listen.

Wow!!! Just hearing this on the radio now. On fire!!! And how about PHIL!!!!

the video of this show is indeed somewhat of a holy grail. It packs a more complete punch than the already amazing sounding cassettes that have been around for so long and it really gives you the feeling of being right there while it was happening. Bobby battling against Jerry's morning dew effort comes up in reviews on just about every source of this date on any site and is definitely a special thing in and of itself. All that aside, this version of El Paso, (and about half of all songs they played this day) were played with a magic touch that happened every so often and leaves us all in agreement that there is nothing like a grateful dead concert. This is, as they did so often, as good as it gets.

through the roof... gets my vote, since I was born on Nov 15 and cause it rocks

I agree about the transition from playing making this version, the jam out of playing starts getting spread out and then phil seems to somehow pull the whole jam down some heavy gravitational field into a heavy time warped groove that the rythm devils somehow keep together. then jerry somehow gets the band to shift keys by playing the first couple notes a few times. that is what sets the pace for what is to make an aswesome rendition. after a jam>this, how could they not have made this version special?

I love how keith sounds on this whole felt forum run. like saloon style piano out of a good western movie when the cowboy walks into a crazed out bar in mexico and everyone is on peyote screaming " Yeah Jerry!!" Great run to boot! great sounding recordings too, they're a bit thin and trebly but it accentuates the piano which in my humble opinion is a period where keith was at his best, maybe being new and rather than just filling in to back everyone was more rough on the edges and a bit more assertive. in any case great version from a great run. Oh and Phil's backing vocals!
