No spine-tingling moments but very good overall with interesting jam.

Music plays Hornsby and band as all are on point and with abundance of energy.

Heading into May '77 on a high note. Extraordinarily locked-in with every member top-shelfing it.

Solid if unspecatcular until last line "Los Angeles, Norfolk..." where Garcia searing vocals then searing guitar! Lesh and crew raging also..

Interesting as sure sounds like violin. Jerry's tone sounds little bit like Robbie Robertson. Phil lots of heady goodness.

Is that Weir on keyboards? Or Ned Lagin on rhythm guitar? Unsure who's what, but a very good version.

Warfield Theater

Someone near end (Bob?) sings If I instead of That path then an undercurrent of laughter, somebody (Phil?) sounds like Cptn Beefheard saying Well then a warbling ooooooohh, and Phil at very end with subtle slapstick bass line.
