Playin' In The Band

Nassau Coliseum

Long and adventurous and moody (24+ min). First concert after Pig died. You can hear their sadness in places.

Salt Palace

Soaring and majestic. Melodic soloing and tight group work. Unfortunately incomplete on the archive. Where is the rest?

The band is playing all over this version. Great collective jam, Jerry and Keith sound great despite sound quality problems.

High energy, tight and exuberent show opener on this epic (DP28) last night in one of the great months in Dead history.

Balls out. Everyone on fire. Every song in this show is brilliant. Where's the rest of the show???

Uncle John's Band
Feb. 11, 1970
Fillmore East

What the '70 Dead sound is all about: From an hour-long at times frantic and at all time intensely rocking Dark Star>Love Light jam session with special guests to a sweet and lovely acoustic three-part harmony UJB in a matter of minutes. Their well was just so incredibly deep.
Cumberland Blues

Deserves much more love. The whole show has a crackling electricity to it. They're dialed way in and amped way up. Brilliant from start to finish.
Not Fade Away

Fillmore East

I'd vote for this one again and again if allowed to. Like high-tension wires, it crackles and jumps. The mix is high on the treble end and slightly tinny, but this just adds to the adrenalin rush.

Follows a high-voltage and dangerous TOO>Cryptical, once again showing the turn-on-a-dime stylistic breadth of our boys here. From psychedelic super-rush to a sweet country ditty (about paranoia) in one clean sweep.
Franklin's Tower
Oct. 9, 1976
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Stadium

Everything I look for in a Franklin's. It was always the mark of a great show for me when they broke this out. This one does not disappoint.
