Outrageous version. Takes a second to get the mix dialed in, but man they blow the roof off. This has to be one of the best Wall of Sound shows.

This was the last truly great dark star that the Dead played. For me, this show marks the end of the Golden Age of the Dead

This dark star is freakin awesome, deserves to be higher up. The transition into Cumberland is ridiculously heady.

This one should be way higher. This is an awesome GDTRFB. Everything on one from the vault is heady.
