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

Very hot, as everything from this date seems to be---marred by a little cut early on

Jerry is a firehose on this one

This is a beautiful version of this song--as good as it gets, I'd say. The performances don't have a ton of variation, so it's hard to say something like "best ever," but there is none better! I suppose if anyone were to dissent it would be because they don't like Keith's wah piano....

You know, I never understood late 70s Iko Iko for the longest time, but at this point in my life degenerate Dead that meanders is my absolute favorite music, and this is where it's at!
