Hard-swingin' version with lots of oomph behind it. Sweet show.

A dynamite set opener, worth the ride in spite of some rough aud/soundboard patches.

Phil in good form, high energy and an epic 1st set. A must for '73 fans.

More hard rockin' than others in the tour. Stretches out a bit more too, though rough in places has great energy.

Immense Depth. We all know/love china>rider, yes me too. But listen to this Rider on its own and therein find a key to the immense depth to this band we love called the Grateful Dead.
Playin' In The Band
Sept. 9, 1974
Alexandra Palace
Show doesn't get much love, but this Playin' has everything in it except a complete meltdown. Good solid groove throughout with many stages, just as coralsandbelow put it.

Symphonic arcs in this stellar example of why '72 Stars are so well loved. Rises, falls, rises again: melodic strands sneak into the melty bits, and all along they all just seem perfectly in sync. Needs several listens to appreciate just how truly epic (a word I don't use lightly) this one really is.
Eyes Of The World
Aug. 6, 1974
Roosevelt Stadium
I can't stop listening to this. Really, it's been like four days straight and it just blows me away each time.

Friends don't think the Dead rock hard? Or that they're just 'a bunch of hippies'? Want to convince a metalhead that the Dead had been there and done all that over 40 years ago? Want to blow your freakin' mind? Here's your boy right here.
