Part of a great first set, the band is on fire, and Pigpen in great form. Tight rocker.

Cracklin' and snappy version. The band is über tight and having fun.

Bobby blows a gasket on this one. Raw and powerful, showing exactly where they were headed before Europe. High energy rocker.

I'd argue this was the first Playin' as we came to know it after the end of the "Main Ten" and "country warbler" versions from '71.

After a pretty sloppy 1st set, they charge up and nail this one. Phil goes bananas on the out chorus.

This whole run is beyond immortal and every CRS just kicks. This one is brilliant.

Hey there's a bit of Terrapin in here. Check out Jerry's melodic lines starting just around 06:50. Am I crazy or is there a little theme that suggests they were already working it out, and he slipped in in? So cool.

Exactly what darkstar 67 et al said here. I'd only add that Jerry solos throughout with quicksilver brilliance, note-for-note beauty. He was bursting with ideas here.

This isn't space. This is just TOO>Morning Dew. It's awesome, but calling it space is anachronistic.

One of the nicest ones I know from '76.
