Little ragged vocally, but a beautiful end to a wide-ranging and justly famous show.

Solidly played, beautiful cacophony at the end as the band varies the outro themes.

Welcome aboard cellarblue. Surprised this wasn't already on here!

Wheeeww! What a hot little version! Garcia spanks this.
Playin' In The Band

Universal Amphitheatre

Atmospheric, lots of Billy that makes this sound jazzy. The whole band is playing together, and I think Garcia being slightly lower in the mix helps convey that. Very nice version. And, sleuth, don't miss 06-22! There's a killer matrix and the show is a thriller.
Not Fade Away

Be advised, Phil bombs destroy the tape itself in the ending portion.
The Other One

Gaelic Park

It gets underway and a long way aways quickly. It sounds like they’re exploring the emptier space left around the absence of Mickey’s parts. Some occasional tape problems. Phil lead jam after the verse, which the entire band jumps on quickly. Fragmenting. Slowly breaks down (and Bobby seems to wander in and out of the mix, which is a shame) and then reconstitute itself into the main riff. If you’re reading this, this will probably be your thing and you should listen.
