Jerry is on fire during the long transition to Lovelight. One of the hottest early versions.

The per-verse jam is some of the most transcendentally beautiful playing I've ever heard on this song... Garcia is just perfect!!!

Love this laid-back jazzy version. Classic, ultra-chill performance all around.

I'm not a big fan of the "horns shows" but I do dig this one. The best version with horns by far is 9/11/73 IMO.
