    @devonm8578 2 роки тому +19

    @mellow which Althea is this?! It's definitely not the 3-15-1990 Without a Net version that the description links to.
    I went digging through the grateful dead set databases and found no versions where Tennessee Jed was played before it (the guitar riff from 1:34 to 1:44) Though it's most likely that the guys were discussing which song to play next and Althea was picked instead of Tennessee Jed. So that was a red herring. Don't make me listen to all 272 versions to find this one.
