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

Selland Arena

This is so beautiful. It might be my favorite version. The trainwreck is a little bit of a bummer

Not to suggest there’s anything wrong with Sugar Magnolia, or that they played it in Montana

This is what they mean when they talk about freak music. If it isn’t your thing keep fast forwarding until you get to Sugar Magnolia. Sunburned Hand of the Man would like to have played this.

This one is relatively concise—compare to the monster middle jam on 7/29 (which should rank higher than this)— but wonderful
