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.

Turn On Your Love Light

Pig's line "and after all that" coming out of a fast paced chase through the jam-a-thon is pretty funny too. This is a big barn-burning number, and could really stand a good cleanup so that the audiophobes can listen to it without fear. Really, heads, this is under-rated, and should be much higher.

Clearly one of the most inspired and radically jammed versions with fantastic power. Does anyone else hear in Jerry's solo musical references to traded solos on "The End" off of Abbey Road? In any case, it's blasting and oh-so-good.

Or a bone in its nose. There's some deep darkness to it, and it grooves beautifully.
I Know You Rider

Performed as a ballad. A beautiful different interpretation. Lovely warm guitar sound in spite of the B-quality AUD that's suffered a touch of damage.
Dancin' in the Streets

Beacon Theatre

Should definitely go higher on the list. The '76s are all just so good, but this one has special tightness to it - and a great Betty Board.
