Jerry is a bit subdued BUT the solo may be the best ever.

First set opener, I really dig the MDs os this era. Still kind of sturdy and brisk but becoming the majestic ballad that it was in the 70s/80s.

This is an all-timer, I say...Garcia plays like a trumpet here, pre-midi...

I agree with Mcjed, this is up there with Dekalb (give me 1978-01-31 and 1981-12-03 too, while we're at it)

Probably my favorite version. This is a great show save for the second set lacks a knockout punch--yet all the performances are high quality, and a great Black Peter....probably just right for the Road Trip treatment

It took me a while to be fair to this, since the next night is my favorite version of all time. This is really good, though.

You guys are making way too much out of a little clammage on the first part of the solo. Really good version, and overall the solo is very good.
