Absolutely outstanding Garcia, a couple moments made my jaw drop

I dig this one, Garcia plays some longer, watery lines that get the job done in a satisfying way

Just listen to the Wolf--funky, dirty, sort of countrified--a unique and powerful version

As good as it gets, with powerful post-"Keep us on the run" break

Wow this never stood out (I was there, and heard it a few times since) but Jerry really gets down to business on that last solo

Wonderful. There's something so fluid and restrained about this era, and even the spooky stuff is kind of buttoned-down in a way; the clarity and precision of it all is its own kind of trip...

Man, Garcia is smooth and fluid and masterful here, what a great version

Why is this site so buggy? I get 'Bad Gateway' all the time. Anyway, I really, really love this Slipknot!, which has a mysterious power. Franklin's is indeed pretty perfect (although HOTW seems a bit sleepy)
