Playin' In The Band

McGaw Memorial Hall - Northwestern University

A Dew>Playin'>UJB>Playin' jam of outrageous power, starting one of the great months in the band's history. Pity the show's not complete, though.

Video w/ TC. See it to believe it. And believe me, Carrion Crow, it's an absolute beauty. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVqArOogY-c

Get lined up, put on your helmet, then prepare to be shot out of a cannon for about 30 minutes. This is what early Dead is all about.

This one's a must for fans of this song: I know I'd trade some of my tomorrows for one more yesterday with Bobby & Co. Sweet and meloncholy....

So beautiful I had to stop it mid way through and start it again. Impassioned, clear sounding, great vocals and harmonies. (Phil!) Perfect.

Sacrilege, possibly, but this song rarely lived up to its potential. Have you tried to sing three-part harmony at this pace? It's fucking hard, and the beautiful realization on the LP was rarely achieved live. That's probably why they dropped it so soon, too. That said, this is the one that nails it. This might be one of the best ever. Very sweet.

Notable for the outrageous fantasy swampjam New Orleans Bobby feature in the middle, instead of the later-in-the-evening Pigpen rap. Nevertheless, it's a tight and right showing of who and what was the immortal '70 sound. Good stuff.

Rarity doesn't even begin to describe it. This is the hogwild swamprock you never knew but always suspected. Imagine your neighborhood garageband with 10,000 loyal followers in a superdosed lovefest on a sweet summers's day's daze. A real treat.

The first songs in the show seemed a bit sluggish, but they really take off here. This song was so goddamned good in this era, and this one is a real corker.

Show opener, apparently. It starts off kinda sleepy like, then gets heavy, but right when it reaches critical mass, it seems like Jerry moves on to the final words. Still wonderful, of course, but I wouldn't put it up there as one of the best from the era.
