A Dew>Playin'>UJB>Playin' jam of outrageous power, starting one of the great months in the band's history. Pity the show's not complete, though.

Video w/ TC. See it to believe it. And believe me, Carrion Crow, it's an absolute beauty. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVqArOogY-c

Get lined up, put on your helmet, then prepare to be shot out of a cannon for about 30 minutes. This is what early Dead is all about.

This one's a must for fans of this song: I know I'd trade some of my tomorrows for one more yesterday with Bobby & Co. Sweet and meloncholy....

So beautiful I had to stop it mid way through and start it again. Impassioned, clear sounding, great vocals and harmonies. (Phil!) Perfect.

I always consider this and the 18th's as key transitional versions between the '72 and '73 sounds as it relates to PiTB. Can you imagine after the night before deciding "hmmm, that was great but there's still something more in there. Let's do it again tomorrow...". Oh, and on its own merits this one deserves so many more votes than it has - it's overshadowed indeed by its maniac older brother from the day before. That said, the re-entry here, with Phil pulsing harmonics is just gorgeous.

Miller remix puts you right in the Phil Zone like back in the day.

Like everything in this show, this just floors it and knocks everything out of its way. Hard-drivin', hard rockin', and high adrenaline. The Miller mix allows you to follow Phil just like how it sounded in the ZONE. Damn, I loved that side of the stage.

Beautiful anthemic version following one hellofa set. They're still biting down hard after hours of solid jamming, and this one has all the sweetness and light alongside the darkness and grunge that makes a great UJB so unique in their oeuvre.

Grendel, I'm pouring one for your good doggo. Sorry for your loss, man, and good for you for taking in a rescue. They're all good dogs. Is your new pup named Beowulf ?
