Like all your best friends sitting around the campfire, strumming and pickin' by starlight. Have a sip or a toke and enjoy....

Really lovely here, part of one of the warmest, most intimate acoustic sets of 1970.

Jerry and Bob bite down hard and tear into this one with muscle. Their interplay lightens up and whoops! We find ourselves in Stephen.

Anthemic beauty. Great ensemble singing and powerful pacing to it. Then Janis steps on stage for Love Light, so there's that.

Jerry's tone on this is dialed all the way in. Really special soloing on this one.
Comes A Time
April 26, 1972
Jahrhunderthalle
Powerful. Perfectly executed. The track list for the complete show on the archive is off by one song, so it has Comes a Time coming in at an extraordinary 36 minutes and 28 seconds, which is pretty funny when you think about it. In any case, they really pull this one off beautifully, even if it's a mere 6:40....

Well I guess just like Bobby on this version, sometimes people just fuck up the words.
Chinatown Shuffle
April 26, 1972
Jahrhunderthalle
Coming off of an extraordinarily energetic Playin', this one has an extra oomph with the tempo just a bit higher, and Billy's back beat kicking it forward with a great, almost reckless driving pulse.
Greatest Story Ever Told
April 26, 1972
Jahrhunderthalle
Absolutely in need of more votes. If you listen carefully, you can hear exactly when they break the badassery barrier. Jerry shreds like a man possessed, Keith is brilliant, Billy all over it, and of course Bobby and Donna are in perfect sync.
