I love it when they close the show with an uptempo rocker.

Some frisky pickin' from Jerry, backed by Phil thumping away.

Jerry's guitar is in thee-toed sloth mode, but isn't it pretty?

And We Bid You Goodnight
May 2, 1970
Harpur College

There are times where band members aren't on the same page and the lines aren't sung in alphabetical order as they're supposed to be. Still, it's pretty good, but not the best.

The music is OK, but the lyrics are childish and idiotic. A stupid song from the late 50's that was covered far more than it deserved.
What's Become of the Baby

Really weird. Really good. Just listen for yourself. Wow.

I love the tempo on this version. Nice lyrics and at times, screaming and wailing guitar work. Following Doin' That Rag, an excellent closer for the first set.

I'm not a fan of the stuck in molasses tempo. Don't the Dead play enough slow songs without needing to turn this into another one? 3-1-1969 smokes this version.
