Jerry's in Fennario, but Bobby's in the desert.

It's a shame there's not more of this in listenable quality, but what we have is still blazing.

Solid high-energy version, Jerry's singing to beat the band.

Wow. This might be my new favorite. Jerry's vocals are a little wobbly at times, but he's singing with passion, and the band is dialed in.

Jam Base has some cool clips from Lesh's monitor feed from two days before: http://www.jambase.com/Articles/121093/Flashback-Grateful-Dead-Debut-Unbroken-Chain-In-Philadelphia
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Hartford Civic Center

How has no one mentioned Brent's organ part before the first verse yet?!?
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
March 9, 1981
Madison Square Garden

Yes. And that AUD sounds great.
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower

RFK Stadium

This was worth it for the 2 minutes listed as "tuning" on the AUD I've been pitching elsewhere, but was less tuning and more a 2 minutes slow exploratory introduction to a "Help > Slip > Frank" of beauty.
