Playin' In The Band
One of my favorite all-around shows...hilarious Weir banter...this Playin' gets nicely stretched out before a sweet Wharf Rat goin' back into playin'
14
Wharf Rat
Perfection in the midst of a Playin' sandwich

Eyes Of The World
Super exploratory, Phil is all over it and Kieth is exciting...Jerry ain't half bad either...kreutzman rules
17
Greatest Story Ever Told
Rocks as hard as any I've heard...beware of Donna though O.o
11
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Breezy like a warm summer day

Scarlet Begonias
Garica's solos are inventive and unique...this version is so tight yet the jams seem to stretch forever!

Sugar Magnolia
After a tuning issue causes them to abort "Eyes" early, they come out firing with a passionate Sugar Mags....Keith is all over it

Brown Eyed Women
They nail this one - Phil alert here.

One More Saturday Night
The whole gang collectively barrel roll through this one in hot fashion and then DJ squats on it.

Me and Bobby McGee
Bombs away Phil

Mexicali Blues
Simple tune, Phil is on fire though. Worth a listen.

Around and Around
Bobby's gettin' it

Tennessee Jed
The jam builds nicely on this one, lyrically on point too

Ship of Fools
Cool keys on this one.'74 renditions portray perfectly the feeling of this song

U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)
Useful
