In this notoriously shaky year there are often gems to be found among the train wreckage. This BEW is an example. Jerry's solo is spot on

Jerry works very hard to put this one over the top. Check out his last solo

They almost never got this song right, so it's no wonder they stopped playing it. This time they did. Bobby doesn't oversing, drummers are on it.

An intense, raucous version. Great vox by Bobby

The peak from Jerry and Bobby in the coda is very intense.

This PITB won't change your life like it did Bman's but it has great playing from Bobby and Brent.

It's not a complicated tune and yet Jerry loses the form several times. Not likely to endear Deadheads to this new addition. It is amusing to hear him get pissed and play power chords tho.

Bobby decides to take a completely new approach to this tune here and it's awesome.

Bobby has a very good idea singing Wang Dang Doodle over this.
