Playin' In The Band

Nassau Coliseum

Long and adventurous and moody (24+ min). First concert after Pig died. You can hear their sadness in places.

Salt Palace

Soaring and majestic. Melodic soloing and tight group work. Unfortunately incomplete on the archive. Where is the rest?

The band is playing all over this version. Great collective jam, Jerry and Keith sound great despite sound quality problems.

High energy, tight and exuberent show opener on this epic (DP28) last night in one of the great months in Dead history.

Thanks Darkstar67, you can alwaysI trust a Miller source. I'm giving this set another day's listening. This has got to be one of the best hidden 'off the beaten path' extended 2nd set jams ever, with over an hour from Playin' all the way to Around and Around continuous.

Much more powerful on the vocals than many of the others around this time. They really belt it out as an ensemble and it's brilliant. The whole 2nd set is jaw-dropping.

Just sublime. An absolute punch-up beeyute of a standalone Scarlet. I know this is sacrilege to some of you, but I really appreciate the standalones before Scarlett was ankle-chained forever to FTM. Now I love those too, don't get me wrong, but finding SB as a set-closer (this one), or somewhere between others songs in a long jam (check her out on 15 June 1976 in between Sugar Mag and SSDD) gave it a lot of freedom that somehow got lost later on. Just sayin'.

Really should be higher. This has a strong pulse, sweet soloing, and a powerful rocking feel.

You can hear them develop a new sound for this song on both this one and the version from the 14th. There's no other way to describe it, but it's the first real indication to my ear of where they'd be by the beginning of '77, more crisp, more clean, and much more polished.
