Swings and rocks you back and forth so sweetly. Not my favorite Dead song, but this one is just a beaut.

A musical triumph capping an amazing 2nd Set. Soaring, almost Bird Songish intensity to the ensemble soloing. Perfect.

Are you kidding me?!? This just blazes white hot. Whole 2nd set is just a supernova.

U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)

Edmundson Pavilion

The boys were still inspired after that 46min Playin' and it shows. Possibly the best US Blues I know of. Don't overlook it or the rest of the show!

Slightly faster with a steady ostinato bass that works beautifully. No dirge, but a thoughtful tale. I hear waves against a wharf at the end.

Kicks ass. I'm not so familiar with '82, but this one convinces me to explore a bit deeper. Lovely.

Nothing in this incomplete 2nd Set should be missed. Nov. '73 is a great place to start anyone on the Dead and it's a pity this show's not complete. This this Dew is an immaculate beautyand it's part of an insane Dew>PITB>UJB>PITB megajam.

Starts really pretty, then gets even smoother as it lifts into the outer atmosphere. Before you know it you're hitting light speed before one of the most beautiful MLB jams of all time - it really feels like the sound of an out-of-body experience. Just so good, just exactly perfect.

Correction? Date on Setlist Program is 10 July '69. Didn't realize this was a double post until too late.
