The Dead do great Dylan covers,i often marvel at how many lyrics they can remember,less the odd flubbed line or two..This is a top version and its good to hear Jerrys back to health.

Jerrys guitar sounds like a waterfall during the 2nd solo,absolutely brilliant guitar work..And yes,the change into around n around is a bit abrupt,could have played that little longer..great stuff anyways..

Universal Amphitheatre

This is the real deal- the jam is transcendant,for want of a better word..Totally laid back and spacey as they come.
