studio version of first Garcia.... the greatest GD sin that it was never performed live until 1976 (and sadly re-arranged)...

the dueling vocal crescendo btw Weir& Garcia at the end never fails to give me goosebumps, it keeps pushin and rising, Garcia actually goes for it on this one, matches Weir line for line as the train almost flies off the track maybe this isnt higher because of the nasty cut in the middle, idk but goddamn this one is the best i love the mix of this show, it pops & kicks & breathes man. Garcia's vocals in this show are dripping

Garcia's entrance is so magical... though Weir's ripcord of it is tragic
