Listen to this one with headphones. Soulful singing by Garcia.."not too fast and not too slow"

Doesn't dissapoint. Nice developed transition for April 72...Dreamy guitar work during this transition.

Yes! The vocals are inspired this night from Garcia for sure, more so than other versions from '71!! Great early version...Love how he sings "Just one thing I ask of you, Just one thing for me" in one of the verses.He belts it out.......

Yeah SUPER short. Also if you listen to Garcia's lead that he cuts too soon, THIS to me, represents his sound from 1970 in a nutshell. The tone, the blistering lead the Gibson SG....All packed into a quick minute or less.

Too bad there isn't a SBD of this one. At least the Audience version sounds good. The Dancin' follow is a smoker too!!

Are you kidding?? Cause I sure hope you aren't on those reels being returned. If that is true this show will be up there with the likes of legendary 5/2/70 and possibly coming in higher.This would be one of the most phenomenal releases ever! That would be BIIIIG News!
