The Other One
Oct. 29, 1973
Kiel Auditorium

A massive, heavy, rocketship of a performance: Explosive liftoff, mining expedition to deep space, smoking craters, then a long sweet fast ride home.

A beautifully rendered rare treat with a nice emotional arc and sweet harmonies.

Hot building and building jam. One of those shows where just every song rocks. Nothing wrong here...

Great solos, tight ensemble playing kicking of the 2nd set from a great show. Energetic and blazing.

Tight and right. The band is charged up and having fun together. Great energy.

The Wheel
Feb. 26, 1977
Swing Auditorium

Certainly a beautiful little Wheel, but I can't see it as the top of the list: I absolutely dig how it fits inside PITB, which is just sublime on all sides, but I love me some good Wheel and this lovely just doesn't cover enough more ground, so I miss the extended jams and long outros in others of the era. Damned nice sandwich though.
Playin' In The Band
Feb. 26, 1977
Swing Auditorium

Full of graceful, intense, yet somehow still mellow, jamming - and who but the Dead could put those three together so consistently? The transition to The Wheel is brilliant, especially as it stretches out and you can hear each one joining in one after the other. Definitely one that suffers if you don't have gapless playback. Great choice.
Dancin' in the Streets
June 3, 1976
Paramount Theatre

First time played with the Godchauxs and it's a doozy.
Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication
June 3, 1976
Paramount Theatre

Tape speed questions on some versions. I like Hunter Seamons matrix version best, which has great warmth and seems to have corrected some of the speed wobbles appearing in others.
Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
Dec. 31, 1971
Winterland Arena

Cuse and Nono got this one right. The whole show is just up-and-jumping, and this NFA>GDTRFB>NFA will get your blood moving.
