Phil belts it out with enthusiasm. There's a lot of energy in this show.

Fantastic interplay and syncopation, Jerry and Keith synergies in collective improv. Can't believe I'm the first to post this one.

Playin' In The Band
Feb. 22, 1974
Winterland Arena

I'd vote on this one twice if I could. Just listened to it again for the first time in a while, and it really has everything you could want from a '73-'74 Playin'. Brilliant, spontaneous, electrifying set closer.

Tivolis Koncertsal

Beautiful slide work. Perfect and discrete harmonies with Donna Jean. This is a 'never better' version for me. Love this konzert.
Dark Star

Veterans Auditorium

Nice stretched out version with different sections and melodic/rhythmic innovations, transiting from the simple and pretty to the hard rocking, to prankster tweekishness. Take an afternoon off and get with this whole show for some historic, mercurial and simply beautiful Dead.
Candyman

Auditorium Theatre

So many ways this song breathes life. This one puts me into a blissful peace. Jerry gets an incredible wah sound out, which must have just blown minds.
Caution

Wembley Empire Pool

Do whatever you can to hear this if you haven't already. They must have really blown some minds with DS>SugarMag>Caution. Reaches speedmetal levels of massive shreddosity.
