I so wish there were video of this.
This is an old kalaidescope vid I made a few years ago but couldn't upload.

I completely agree, '71 does not get nearly enough love. This whole show is really a must, and maybe my favorite...ever.

[@EdBocchino]

one of the best performances of this song ever and Garcia's solo just kills like no other

[@PoppaStompa]

Legend has it Jerry dropped to his knees raging the peak of this jam...

Stunning interplay between guitars..... Skull & Roses era....None better imho

Classic version from the "Fallout from the Phil Zone" album. Probably the best short-ish Dead track ever. Jerry's solo just builds and builds after Bobby's rhythm lead-in. For reasons best known to themselves, the Dead liked to build energy and then blow it off. This track NEVER lets up. I can just picture Jerry stepping back with a satisfied smile after blowing everybody away.

Oh man! Bob comes in with those rhythm chords along with Phil during the end of Jerry's solo and turns the song into a full blown G.D masterpiece! This version was pure fire!!

Right, Will Pittman, 1971 is so good! One of my fav Dead's years, together with 1972 and 1973 (I love the one - Billy - drummer era). I'd say that the Road Trips' "Summer 71" is full of goodies.
