Underrated show here, apparently. This is a good version from an excellent show.

Starting to be a little disco-inflected, but none the worse for it; Garcia is firing away...

Really solid version; about as good as it gets

Rather surprising this hasn't been submitted, this show seeks a bit underrated in general. Garcia gets majorly vicious here.

Stupendous Garcia

Garcia is really clean and clear in the mix, which makes this one of my favorite versions. Weir's guitar is pretty buried this set, though

As good as it gets. You have to have the Bear version, but it cuts in during the second solo....I have one blended with the other (Miller?) which is really the only solution, because Jerry is cranked on the Bear version...

I agree, and 10-18 is equally great! You have to have the Bear version of 10-18, but it cuts in during the second solo....I have one blended with the other (Miller?) which is really the only solution, because Jerry is cranked on the Bear version....but I digress. Probably each as great as the other.

One of their greatest sets
