Deep and weird, capping a set full of loose fun. They get into it and it's all business with a wild trans into UJB, slipknot tease, and a great outro.

Seems like they're just having a great old time jamming together. A loose, fun-filled 1st set capping off a great month in Dead history.

A beautiful monster with intrepid intricacies throughout. Rhythmic Jerry investigations of the theme plus Tom C. on celeste.

Massive and dark with fantastic interplay between everybody on stage. Doesn't quite melt down, but dances next to chaos just perfectly.

So nice to have Bobby clear in the mix. Some times I think that his contribution is systematically undervalued as he's so consistently lost in the mix. This one is the exception though, and watch what he does.... Just beautiful throughout it.

The sweetness and youth in Jerry's voice, contrasted with the desperado lyrics and the gentleness of the - yes - heartbreakingly gorgeous playing contribute to making this one 'desert island' quality.

Plus it's acoustic Pig, which is pretty cool.

Seriously grinding rocker.

Slinky and stripped down to its bare essence. This is a great version and a strong showing for those heads who dig '70 above all others.
