Just a full-on rocking get-up-and-jump version. Keith's blazes here.

Long fast and beautiful China jam to open 2nd set. Forgotten show? Check it out, heads, you won't regret it.

Crowd pumped up for this 1st set opener. Juiced and tight. Starts one hell of show.

Cumberland Blues
June 30, 1974
Civic Center

Uptempo version highlighting '74 Rock Goddom, while nailing that jug-band vibe, like only the Dead knew how: Shitkickin'ly upcountry bluegrass mountain music rockin' and rollin' the Wall of Sound.
Greatest Story Ever Told

Civic Center

Really nice description! It's loose and fun and rocking. Really cool to hear Bobby crack up at (presumably) some of the insane noises coming out of Jerry's guitar, too.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
May 3, 1972
Olympia Theater

Top notch tight harmonies on Rider and a sweet up-tempo. Deserves its fame. (Years later) I'm revisiting this, and undoubtedly it stands head-and-shoulders above so many others. Just exactly perfect.
Mind Left Body Jam
June 28, 1974
Boston Garden

This is an incredible jam, no doubt, and it goes into a brilliant US Blues jam. That said, for MLB melodicism and sweetness, I still would choose to listen to 02.12.73 first.
To Lay Me Down
June 28, 1974
Boston Garden

Sublime and powerful. Moves along steadily and smoothly with perfect harmonies from Donna.
