That was a tasty one indeed, however Jerry mixes up the words to the line "don't waste your breath to save your face": interestingly he sings "don't save your breath to waste your face" ...quite a Freudian slip from the master wastoid himself!

I'd recommend the 8/6/89 Cal Expo version... or was that 8/5? The Alpines were awesome that summer, but the Cal Expos -as a 3-night run- trumped them quite handily imho.

LOL----i never noticed the lyric flub on that!....

had to watch it again...

will chek out the expo versions!

Thanks guys so much..One of my favorite later hunter/garcia tunes...wish the had brought it out more

Built to last has always been one of my favorite solos.. kick in that distortion.

I was lucky enough to have been at all the above mentioned shows.

I'm surprised that they had stopped playing it so early (Oct.89)..
