Rosalie McFall
A true Grateful Dead artifact. This audience recording is second-to-none for the early years, and the atmosphere it creates is divine.

El Paso
The boys were in a mellow mood tonight, and this one is the sweet and tearful-cowboy ballad it was written to be.

Dark Star
Takes off on you for a deep and weird ride, then goes into a brilliant "The Main Ten" which just kills me its so good.

Dancin' in the Streets
Slow, relentless jam--unique and very cool version from an unheralded show.

Uncle John's Band
Acoustic set closer, try not to clap along with the audience at the end. The dog will look at you funny.

Mystery Train
The only known version the boys played and they nail it. Check the super smooth transition into the only known 'My Babe'. Only circulates in AUD.

Ripple
Great year for this song, no doubt, emotive, and serene. A quick ride in time, Capitol Theater 1970.

Operator
Final time played, Pig is in fine form, acoustic set here is beautiful, entire show for that matter is transcendent stuff.

Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
Unique jam going into the song and we get a mountan jam tease into the NFA reprise. Overall a killer version.

Good Lovin'
Final jam in an enormous show. Just killer. Follows the one NRPS set you need to hear. Whatta world.

Casey Jones
Upbeat and well-played version. Not a mind-blower, but builds up to a pretty sweet peak into a nice Truckin'
