Let It Grow

Dane County Coliseum

Been listening to this every chance I can all week. The band's so tight, Bobby's singing passionate and precise, Jer's musicality soaring. Amazing.

Exhuberent and triumphant. Closes out one hellofa 2nd set and kicks like a rocket.

Sweet and subtle: A beautiful come down after the muscular peak Eyes - but the set isn't done and they ramp it up again for more. A gem of a show.

Interrupted by bad fight in front of the stage. Phil goes bonkers, calls the security guard "Asshole". Weird scene/bad vibes.

Keith on organ just kills it. He's hot in the mix and the song has a totally different feel for it. Show overshadowed by Nov.-Dec. '73 but worth it.

May just be the best ever.

Oh yeah, this one sizzles. The Lightning portion is a bit short, but the great tightness and exhuberence to the Supplication makes up for it.

December '71 is one of the most consistently perfect months in Dead history. This tour has so many highlights its an embarrassment of riches, and has some of the best vocals ever.

Shows the genius of the group. The segue follows several other examples of surprising song melding throughout the second set. What fun. Check out the TOO>MAMUJam>TOO>Sittin' On Top Of The World>TOO a few minutes prior. Makes me think they were putting Keith to the test, saying 'alright freshman, how about we play every single thing we know all at once and make it sound amazing'...!

Freshness and power to the early versions. Jer's voice is strong and this one's a beaut.
