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.

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.

Haters: Donna can't sing in tune? Really? Listen to this, even if you can't stand the song, and you'll know exactly what she could do with her voice. She always complained that she couldn't hear herself on stage, and knowing she could deliver when featured makes me wonder how many of her more egregious "interventions" could have been better mic'd, mixed, and leveled.

Glorious transition jam into Wharf Rat. It just seems to happen by accident: Everyone is putting together a beautiful inventive jam that doesn't resemble any other Eyes jam I know, then suddenly it's Wharf Rat, perfectly. Have to re-listen to it to hear if there were earlier hints that point to it....

Grendel said exactly what I was going to say here. The Help is just dynamite.

Jaw dropping. I'm flabbergasted, shocked that I haven't heard this before. Top shelf Dead.
