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.

Stealth Show. Blazing Playin' - hot and fast, no summertime mellow here folks. Under the radar massive Dead.

Playin' In The Band
June 8, 1974
Coliseum Stadium

Just cruising around nicely until about 15:00 and then they hit the warp drive and it just goes everywhere. Great '74 sound. Good, show maybe a bit underated.
Knockin' On Heaven's Door
Nov. 17, 1978
Rambler Room

First time played by the Dead, 9 years before it went into regular rotation. Was Jerry already playing this in solo gigs?

Coliseum Stadium

Very beautiful ensemble playing.
Playin' In The Band

Stanley Theater

Deeply weird meltdown coming out of a deceptively light and intricate jam. Real bugs under the skin and voices in the head carpet crawling towards the end.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Nov. 30, 1980
Fox Theatre

Read about this in a New Yorker article about tapers. "Deadhead" by Nick Paumgarten in the 26.11.2012 edition. Thanks Nick, if you're lurking here, it's a beauty, and you pulled me into the 80s for a nice minute. Had this tape too and always found it... mystical. Great fun.
