Phil is ridiculous through out this version. Dark Star-depth in the 80s/90s jams on this tune. This version is a monster and stands alone. Brilliant.

This show is so much fun for myriad of reasons. The jamming is exceptional for certain, but also this is a perfect show to note how the band plays off the crowd. The recording is so good it feels as if you're actually there. It reminds me of my favorite Bob Marley show from Chicago, June 10, 1975. The crowd is so lively, there is no way the band can't be into it. In my top 5 for sure!

I'm DJing a 6 hour live Dead party this weekend (July 2, 2016) and searching for a great DS to play, this entire 2nd set is making it into the playlist. DAMN! What a great DS it is too.

I was at this show, and what a treat to see Kesey speak to the passing of Graham. What an amazing run of shows that was.
