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

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.

It's everything that's been said and more: I'd add that the group vocals are 100% on, and Pigpen is in beautiful form . This is one to come back to a couple of times in a row, study a bit closer, strap on some headphones, and whooooooooooeeeeeeeee.

As always, trust gdtrfb Era Evangelist. This one is outrageous, and the tighten up jam is without peer, and may be the most expansive and cogent one I know. In some other ideal sphere, the perfect SBD exists, but until then, thanks once again Mr. Weinberg.

The AUD is a C- but the performance is A+

First and only time played before '72, before the release of the record. Heavy emotion here. Does anyone know the date of his father's death, for whom the song was written? It's quite a sweet performance, in spite of the C- sound quality of the tape, and beyond the historical importance of the song's debut.

Possibly the best harp solo on this song ever. Pigpen tears into it like he's got you just where he wants you. Hard rock stuff this.
