Deep and weird, capping a set full of loose fun. They get into it and it's all business with a wild trans into UJB, slipknot tease, and a great outro.

Seems like they're just having a great old time jamming together. A loose, fun-filled 1st set capping off a great month in Dead history.

A beautiful monster with intrepid intricacies throughout. Rhythmic Jerry investigations of the theme plus Tom C. on celeste.

Super high energy, lot's of fun. They came to gether nicely on this one.

Massive and dark with fantastic interplay between everybody on stage. Doesn't quite melt down, but dances next to chaos just perfectly.

Listening again (and again and again) to that gentle lilting jam, and I'm more convinced now that you could describe it as a long teasing intro into the TOO that they finally reach after drums. It isn't TOO in the power-acid rollercoaster cannon shot, but right around 07:30 Keith switches up the chord changes and the drums switch from 12/8 feel (regular triplets over the 4/4 of the main melody) into a clear 6/8 (the meter of TOO). Jerry picks it up right away and turns his flutter of a butterfly wing solo into a rock waltz. By 09:40 Phil and Bobby are pushing it into uncharted territory (it almost sounds like the stuff Joni Mitchell would do with Jaco Pastorius starting the same year) but somehow TOO is already in the air, gently, touched by that beautiful '76 understatement. It's only in the last few seconds before Drums that they spell it out completely. What beauty!

Soloing is brilliant, and the jam almost lifts off into the Dancing in the Streets territory of the era.

Wasn't too convinced at first by this one. It drags a bit during the first minutes, but then, oh lord, hold on tight because you're about to lose your face. Kicks up around 06:30 min in.

Real love here between Jerry and Keith. Different mixes to chose from, but I'm enjoying the Tetzeli Soundboard. Bobby's a bit lost, but otherwise great separation and a clear sound. Keith is clear and glorious.

Not a KSM. A very cool jam indeed, but doesn't have the melody, structure, meter, polyrhythms or form of KSM. There are arguably thematic riffs in common, but if I had to say, I'd say this is erroneously marked.
