Jerry’s hitting some real rockstar riffs. Does nearly fall onto its face into Good Lovin though

Also their first performance since the death of Elvis, just a month prior. They begin with an Elvis classic, Promised Land.

You know they were ready to duke it out during this drums section with all that energy they’ve been bringing this show. I was real excited to hear this drums and they BROUGHT IT!! This is some of the best drums I’ve heard from these boys, no joke. Real dark magic and awesome sounds emanating from this one.

This one is MAJOR! This whole show is major!! Killer dancing. garcia is throwing down some real creative disco runs, sending the crowd into boogietown. Drums have had awesome energy this entire show. The band sounds so righteous and professional with explosive energy.

Fuck this is a nice Fire. Cool, calm, and collected. So remarkably well-executed by everyone involved. Then comes that final jam and, oh, that tone just screams at you. Keith rarely chases Garcia’s leads with his piano, which I like, but here he plays it and it sounds great during the jam. Then Garcia runs away into oblivion and everyone is in an absolute frenzy. HUUUUUUGE ending jam here that wraps up perfectly.
