One of the marks of a great jack Straw is when jerry does those guitar fills around Bob's vocals. Jerry nails that here.

Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad

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!

I find this song and this version of this song very powerful

Portland Memorial Coliseum

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
