Smokin' encore. You know the playing was hot when even this is a scorcher.

Smokin little number boosts the second set.

New Minglewood Blues

Bobby seems on this whole night, and Jerry's tone is unreal.

One of the first Dead songs I ever heard way back in the day. Kicks off a raging Set II.

Nice energy on this. Don't miss the birthday celebration for the monitor guy either.

So far, I haven't heard a bad song from this show. This version of "Loser" is a bit faster than I usually like it (I prefer versions where the tempo is closer to a dirge), but there's a really nice cowboy-swagger thing going on here.
