Portland Memorial Coliseum

Short succint and distilled to its '74 essence. Plus Donna's sexiest "Ohhhhhhhhh" ever.

Sweet as honey. Holds together in perfect harmony and never drags.

Pushes against the melody: Late '71 and the song's potential is about to burst free in the months ahead. You can feel it, and it's good.

P.N.E. Coliseum

For any SoF doubters out there, this one is as convincing as they come. Everything comes together nicely, and there isn't a single downer on deck.

Faster than most. And mad funky.

Dancin' in the Streets
May 6, 1970
Kresge Plaza - MIT

Brilliant long jam. Very creative and deep in places. Doesn't go into space, but stays right in the pocket.

Barton Hall - Cornell University

Duh. Ha! I love that this is here, I love you guys, and I love the Grateful Dead.

You're welcome GlynP. Check out the little essay at the link I cited above. Good website that one. Peace!

Hey Glynparson! If you dig Sept. and Oct. '76 Dancin's (and I know you do) check out October 3rd. That's my current favorite from this sweet spot in the song's history. Enjoy!

Harpur College

I've said in reference to the suite, I think there are several TOOs that stand up to the well-know May 2. But that isn't to say this isn't an outrageous mother of a beast. This outro just slices through you with such precision. Whatta slaughter!
