Great fun extended solo from Garcia. Phil sounds great in the mix.

Killer version. Then some of Brent's communist friends sabotage Bob Weir soon afterward..

Solid! God Brent had such an awesome voice. Jerry’s got a good lead here. The whole band is working with each other perfectly for this tune.

Jumps right out of Around & Around. Nice little dance party to a fine show in Alaska.

Jesus Christ. After countless different S>F listens, I honestly never entertained the idea of another version beating 5/8/77, but we've got a good contender here.

Indeed an underrated version of an overplayed song.

Ohhhh yeaaa. Great stuff. Dreamy is a good word for for the Playin #1^. But that second coming, which I consider to start when Jerry hits back on the wah out of UJB, is intense! Tiger, I say.
