Brent's playing goes far outside of the rhythmic structures the rest of the band is using to support him, shaking them out of their complacency.

Acceptable slide playing from Bobby. Nice extended organ solo, MIDI sax solo. Whole band playing blues choruses gives first set particular vibe.

Looser and hotter than its more famous brethren from the following night, but Garcia gets buried some in the mix.

To my ears, the Betty Boards usually have a fair amount of Keith. Come hear why.

Wow. This might be my new favorite. Jerry's vocals are a little wobbly at times, but he's singing with passion, and the band is dialed in.

How has no one mentioned Brent's organ part before the first verse yet?!?
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Yes. And that AUD sounds great.

This was worth it for the 2 minutes listed as "tuning" on the AUD I've been pitching elsewhere, but was less tuning and more a 2 minutes slow exploratory introduction to a "Help > Slip > Frank" of beauty.
