Playin' In The Band
Nov. 1, 1973
McGaw Memorial Hall - Northwestern University

A Dew>Playin'>UJB>Playin' jam of outrageous power, starting one of the great months in the band's history. Pity the show's not complete, though.

Video w/ TC. See it to believe it. And believe me, Carrion Crow, it's an absolute beauty. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVqArOogY-c

Get lined up, put on your helmet, then prepare to be shot out of a cannon for about 30 minutes. This is what early Dead is all about.

This one's a must for fans of this song: I know I'd trade some of my tomorrows for one more yesterday with Bobby & Co. Sweet and meloncholy....

So beautiful I had to stop it mid way through and start it again. Impassioned, clear sounding, great vocals and harmonies. (Phil!) Perfect.

Dancin' in the Streets
Oct. 1, 1976
Market Square Arena

Weaves in and out of the 2nd set in so many different styles and states. The wheel > jam was noted, but from the first wah-wahing introduction to the fade out into GDTRFB, this is peak '76.

What more can be said about it? It's stopped me dead in my tracks and I can't move on. I've been listening to Oct. 1, 1976 now for over a month and just find more and more in this suite every time. From the SB standalone forward this show just keeps giving.

One of the best standalone Scarlets, and probably the very best of '76. Deserves to be much higher, and brings everything together perfectly.

These '76 versions are some of my favorite NMBs out there and this one has great oomph and swagger.
Here Comes Sunshine

Starts off pretty sparse and mellow, but then watch out. Jerry weaves sweet line after line in the middle solo portion. Following the interlude something happens and it's in a totally different gear, grinding out power chords and Phil bombs. Fun stuff.
