This is fantastic and should receive votes! On Download Series 7. Garcia's guitar is REALLY loud on the solo!

I love the vibe of this set, in a groove and kind of mellow with good, loud Garcia

Really as good as anything. Maybe not as many fireworks as some of the top rated versions, but wonderfully played

For the earlier versions that are still a little shortish, it doesn't get much better than this. Garcia is really loud in the mix, and his playing here is gorgeous....and there is a fairly substantial jam with a vicious peak (just not as extensive as some of the 80s versions)

I'm not sure why this doesn't have more votes...it's at LEAST the best of the year, in any case

Absolutely one of the most amazingly gorgeous renditions of this they ever did; 12 votes is a joke (in your town)
