Not Fade Away
May 28, 1977
Hartford Civic Center

Brilliant double Jerry/Phil solo. Who know that NFA could be such an exploration? A blazing 2nd set tour-closer from Spring '77. What else?!?

Good Lovin'

Hartford Civic Center

That Bob and Jerry both get barnburning warm ups (Bertha then this) pays off throughout this immortal show. Don't just start with the 2nd set!

Playin' In The Band
Sept. 23, 1972
Palace Theater

Nice hot version. Not as tripped out as some and never melts down, but 18 minutes of fun.

Playin' In The Band
Oct. 31, 1971
Ohio Theatre

Hard blistering acid rock with the '71 country vox. 6 minutes, but with the seeds within it that would become Playin' as we know it in '72.

Uncle John's Band
Feb. 18, 1971
Capitol Theater

Energetic encore. Rolling drums and tight energy ending a brilliant show like they were ready for another set.

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!

Cameron Indoor Stadium, Duke U

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!
Cryptical Envelopment
May 2, 1970
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!
