Also just about pretty damn perfect too. Follows a super-macho Hard to Handle and the combination shows so much of the emotional breadth of the Dead.

Tomorrow Is Forever

Winterland Arena

A sweet and rare country torch ballad showing off just what they were thinking bringing the Godchaux on board the bus.

Heavy and Heady. Starts with super-charged explosions then melts into ballsy MAMU in under 8 minutes. Love the '71s.

Absolutely smokin' hard rocking swagger. Builds from a cool shuffle to a blisteringly hot rocker setting up Drums/TOO. Great show all around.

The band plays/signs together so well on this sweet one. The whole concert is brilliant.

Even though the cleanup isn't so clear, Bobby is audible in the mix, which gives a good sense of what it could sound like if the magic soundboard ever gets found.... Apparently there isn't anything in the vault from this show.
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower

Brilliant extended Slipknot, and one of the Franklin's that I used to dream about. The outro is sublime.

Don't let the B/B+ sound quality scare you away from this beast. Tremendous energy on this one. Deserves more votes!

Sounds like a bit of a tuning issue at first, but they sharpen up and roll on. "Majestic" describes it perfectly. This one goes an extra mile, extending gloriously on and sweeping you away with it.

Great show opener for this mostly overlooked show. The McDonald cleanup of the only known source is most welcome.
