Very mellow cowboy ballad, like the great Nov. 8th '70 above. Check 'er out. They were experimenting with it here.

Beautiful acoustic version. The whole first set is one exquisite jewel after another.

After some rowdy banter the good old GD pull out a magical beauty here. Acoustic fans shouldn't overlook this one!

Pretty unknown show, but this FoTD is just perfect. Some sound issues around the edges, but here Jer's voice is angelic and sweet.

Fillmore East

One of the under-appreciated masterpieces of the Dead canon, this one stretches out nicely. Mellow, but adventurous. Love this one.

Bird Song
Oct. 30, 1972
Ford Auditorium

Unfortunate cut, probably just a tape flip, but an otherwise gorgeous, flying vintage '72 Bird Song that lifts of and soars.

Better without headphones. Mix problems are less obvious in an ambient environment. Sad about the cut, though: Jerry is carving wormholes through spacetime while Billy plays every sound in the forest and every wave in the ocean across infinite eons.
Box of Rain

Cleveland Public Hall

Tighter than the 09th and 26th, and only the third one performed apart from the '70 show. Quite beautifully performed, even if Billy's drums are a bit high in the mix.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

...the Bertha Board, natch.
Nobody's Fault But Mine

Springfield Civic Center

A clear and strong statement of the NFBM melody, tighter and more deliberate than the 26th and 27th versions.
