Bobby: "--Hey, if you all would refrain from trying to hop this fence you wouldn't f*ck yourselves up."
20. Casey Jones . . .05:54

Missing "One More Saturday Night" after "Casey Jones."
Incredible performances of "Playin' in the Band," "Bird Song," and "Greatest Story Ever Told." Blair Jackson, in his book
Going Down the Road, p. 144: "One of my favorite moments in the entire body of the Grateful Dead's music comes during the August 27, 1972 (Veneta, Oregon) version of 'Bird Song.' After the vocal part of the tune, the band embarks on a twisted, obviously acid-drenched jam that spirals up and up until it resolves at the main riff. There's a moment of pure silence, which almost feels like it might be the end of the song, but then Bill Kreutzmann unleashes this amazing rolling drum figure that instantly propels the jam in a completely new direction."
"Bertha": 6 anymores.
