The slower tempo here lets Jerry and Keith stretch out some during their solos.

Startled not to find this here. Def. best of Palladium run, and can stand toe to toe with the rest of the month.

fantastic version with great Bobby/Donna. Everyone else is just trying to match their emotional performances.

Friend of the Devil

Capitol Theatre

Worth an up vote for the stage banter that follows, much less the music.
Me and My Uncle

Listen with the NRPS set in between the early and late Dead sets for full psychedelic cowboy effect.
Not Fade Away

Capitol Theatre

Wanted to add another comment. This has some great moments in the NFA material itself, and also in the "Mountain Jam"-style section that follows. After that, Garcia rips off riffs that sound like the belong to the transitions of those stellar '72 –> Riders. If you like good Jerry, give it a spin.
Easy Wind

Capitol Theatre

This set is justifiably well known for the massive sequence that follows this tune, but the NFA>Wind is also top shelf. Worth a dust-off if it's been a while.

Broome County Arena

Yes yes yes. You really hear Jerry searching for something with this one.
