Builds to a nice climax after some interesting lines from Garcia. Whole show is worth a listen.

Ends a great Set II sequence. Listen to the drummers play along with the whistle blower in the audience!

If this had been tracked along with the preceding "Playin,'" everyone would have said "of course." This whole second set is killer.

Exploratory version right out of "Terrapin." Donna sounds great, and Phil leads the jam.

Terrapin Station

Uptown Theater

The transition into the "Terrapin Station" material is particularly strong, with powerful playing from Keith.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
April 24, 1978
Horton Field House - Illinois State University

Yeah, I don't think this is better than 02-05 by a long shot. Yes, the playing is as superior as you would expect from this time, and Jerry's "let it burn" lights up the band. But Bobby's thin sounding, out-of-tune slide practice mars an otherwise all-time version.
Dancin' in the Streets
May 11, 1978
Springfield Civic Center Arena

Goofy and amped up at the same time. Ending vocal jam is solid and interesting.
Viola Lee Blues
March 18, 1967
Winterland Arena

fantastic, great interplay during the solo. This whole show is phenomenal.

Jerry's on fire all night (and I'm a Garcia fanatic), but you're totally right, Phil makes this. The Pigpen/Garcia interplay is also pretty cool.
Cream Puff War

Winterland Arena

Rager, monster Garcia solos.
