Very mellow cowboy ballad, like the great Nov. 8th '70 above. Check 'er out. They were experimenting with it here.

Beautiful acoustic version. The whole first set is one exquisite jewel after another.

After some rowdy banter the good old GD pull out a magical beauty here. Acoustic fans shouldn't overlook this one!

Pretty unknown show, but this FoTD is just perfect. Some sound issues around the edges, but here Jer's voice is angelic and sweet.

One of the under-appreciated masterpieces of the Dead canon, this one stretches out nicely. Mellow, but adventurous. Love this one.

The Wheel was always good medicine. This one starts like a mirage on a hot highway fluttering in the distance, then coalesces into a perfect form, just perfect before that really really pristine Lady With a Fan section of Terrapin. As much as I love this show, this is the first part of the set where they're really playing as one. The S>F is super loose and as cool as the Dancin' is, they seem to struggle to hit the bridge. But this... this is gooood medicine.

I think this hardly counts as a Mojo. It really never ever coalesces around the song but is really just a riff/vamp within the Dancin'.

Long slow sizzling Dancin' that struggles to break into the weird electric slide part so Bobby steps up and has a Mojo minute. I'm going to break ranks here and say, this isn't really a "Got my Mojo" at all, but kind of a Bobby rap reference to Got my Mojo that never leaves Dancin'. Someone with more musical knowledge than I can say for sure, but I'm pretty sure they stay on Dancin's same chords and vamp riff through the hot second that Bobby's Mojo is only kind of working. Only then do they find the electric slide and just like that, it's back to the whirling Dancin' finale. The pointillist transition into The Wheel is the kind of magic that helped so many blown minds come back together together. So sweet.

Funniest ending ever. Wait for it.

This is all pretty loose in the joints, with a couple of epic lyric 'experiments', but is just bursting with creative solo ideas that signal the future of this immortal duo. What it lacks in ensemble tightness it more than makes up for in palpable musical excitement between the boys (and girl).
