Real Deal E72 goodness,the sound quality is amazing sayin it was recorded all them years ago..The Dead brought the goods to Europe in spades..As mentioned earlier KGs piano is aces and Jerry owns the transition,they all do..Grate stuff

Pigpen and Keiths piano sound great together- the Pig was a proper pro when it came to the blues.

Winterland Arena

Agreed with the above- i love the 77/78 readings of this song- Bobby n Donna go together like rice n peas and the music builds and builds,also i love the acapella bit too..nice one.
He's Gone

Selland Arena

As others mention,this ones got a really nice mellow jam for an outtro- nice way to make up for the earlier flub by the band, i just wish it lasted longer- its that good.
