Delicate an gentle - coming after a twisting rocketship of an Eyes, saying, "everything will be okay folks if we can just all come down together...."

Out of a 20 min mindbent HCS this is a sweet, heartfelt chillout. Great '73 sound.

Playin' In The Band

Boston Garden

An extensive, long strange trip. Hot in places, then trippy and spaced out. Fast. Phil and Jerry in total unity.

Passionate and heartfelt with beautiful ensemble vocals. Bobby's spider rap follows.

An immense, killer set closer. This show shows all the different faces of the Dead and this Playin should have many many fans.

Yeah the Dark Star's cool... but did you hear the Cumberland?!? It's like they each had 100 fingers.

Nice and tweaky. But how about his manic-mouse pizzicato background around minute 3:00. Throughout this show it seems like they're having a blast.

Goddamned right hvd Sleuth. I love it when some of the so-called "filler" songs crackle and pop and remind you why the Dead were the finest band in the land. This one comes off a "dynamite" (Phil's word) Bird Song, and you could tell they were having a blast rippin' through it.

They fix some tuning problems mid-way through and then just turn on the heat. What a way to open a show!
Bird Song

Brilliant soundscapes throughout, with Bobby nice and audible in the mix (soundboard, not the DP). Jerry makes bird sounds and swoops and soars over and above the rolling wind and cloud ocean coming from Phil and Billy. Great great stuff from one of the top eras of this beautiful song.
