BeggarsTomb summed it up. Really from Peggy-O on through this Goin Down The Road, the Dead were 100% on fire this night.

Spectacular version. As much jazz as it is funk and much different than what I'm used to.

This monumental jam makes me want to catch a ride on a spaceship with Capt. Dead2ThaCore. Ride, Captain, Ride!

Weir's vocals are impressive and Ernie5 is right about Keith's hypnotic keys. They were almost always flat on the background vox for Prelude/Part 1, but they nail a lot of of it here. Let It Grow is fantastic. Garcia's playing is inspirational and sublime
