Playin' In The Band

Adams Field House, U of Montana

Slower, moody and thoughtful with Phil and Jerry-driven explorations. Brief Slipknot tease at 8:20 and 13:50 and a cool Supplication tease at 9:30.

Truckin'

University of Nevada

Inventive and crystal clear jam, leading into a 'nobody's fault' jam and a killer TOO>MLB where the '74 sound is just taking shape. Underappreciated.

Winterland Arena

Brilliant, cracklin' good, fast, tight and fun.

Chinatown Shuffle
Dec. 31, 1971
Winterland Arena

Crackles with up-and-jumping energy. Great show all around showing off the best of the era with Pig and Keith.

Boston Music Hall

Some funky bass be-bop and beautiful chaos in order in chaos in the outro jams. Just exactly perfect.

Dancin' in the Streets

Kresge Plaza - MIT

Brilliant long jam. Very creative and deep in places. Doesn't go into space, but stays right in the pocket.

Duh. Ha! I love that this is here, I love you guys, and I love the Grateful Dead.

You're welcome GlynP. Check out the little essay at the link I cited above. Good website that one. Peace!

Hey Glynparson! If you dig Sept. and Oct. '76 Dancin's (and I know you do) check out October 3rd. That's my current favorite from this sweet spot in the song's history. Enjoy!

Harpur College

I've said in reference to the suite, I think there are several TOOs that stand up to the well-know May 2. But that isn't to say this isn't an outrageous mother of a beast. This outro just slices through you with such precision. Whatta slaughter!
