Lesh doesn’t stay in the center through the jams – sometimes he drifts right, sometimes left – but Weir is stable in the mix.


The organ playing is clear throughout, particularly in the “sputnik” – Constanten is brought out more here, and there’s a brief section where Garcia retreats and Constanten takes a little solo, a moment that’s most apparent in this mix. Mickey’s guiro returns in the center during a quiet part of the jam – he switches to the drum set later on with some tapping on the right before the “sputnik” jam, then disappears. The gong and organ stay up in the mix through the space that follows, before Garcia storms back in.
