Killer, the first two of these are both great in fact (2-9 at Roscoe P Coltrane Pavilion)

Some good comments above, and particularly nice write-up by quinn_76. I agree that this is pretty and has wonderful moments, but overall it's a little underdeveloped...the entry jam is nice, then there's some transitional stuff that finally coalesces at around 10 minutes, but they go to the verse rather quickly from there and nothing else really develops after that, although when Jerry comes in atop Phil it's nice. The combo of Jerry and Keith especially between 9:30 and 11 or so is wonderful. I enjoy this one, but I don't rank it in the upper echelon.

Good middle jam, even though kind of short; Garcia plays First There is a Mtn at beginning of Rider
