Perfection firing on all cylinders: Tight band, muscular beats, beautiful vocals (Donna's on!) and that applied greatness that is the '77 Dead.

Doin' That Rag

Fillmore West

Blissful '69 chaos: Jer says, "Help! Help! Hey, we need some organized minds up here" and then they launch. Great fun and a wild ride.

Pure. One of the first performances with beautiful, meaning-soaked delivery.

Suffers a cutout in the middle, but reaches transcendant beauty and interplay. They end on a harmonics/tuning just delightfully right out of the song.

Sweet and subtle, part of a mega-massive 2nd set jam. A beauty.

Pity about that string. Was chuggin' along pretty standard until around minute 07:00, then then turned the burners on and bit into it hard.

This will blister your brain. Hot doesn't even begin to describe it: This is supernova.

Thanks bro! Let me know what you think. Maybe "best 1st set" would be more likely. But the Truckin' and TOO from what we have of the 2nd set are both just amazing. Enjoy!

The cruelest cut I've ever found in any show.
