Shrine Auditorium

The AUD is amazing. Keith shines, and everybody's into it. Bootstrap '76 knockin' down your door.

To the point - and totally out of the blue. This is Dead magic.

One of their truly psychedelic songs, on a truly psychedelic night. Incredible transition from Cryptical.

The Other One
Aug. 15, 1971
Berkeley Community Theater

As Carrion_Crow pointed out, perfect form here. Bill carries the shuffle-magic from Truckin' into an exciting Drums, with leads into a spacey TOO > MAMU > TOO. I love these '71 cowboy spaces.
Playin' In The Band
Nov. 21, 1973
Denver Coliseum

Incredible in every sense of the word. The segues in and out of El Paso and Wharf Rat are perfect, and they jazz the the Playins beyond reason. Late '73 is probably their most jazzy, and as a result: They are at their most creative here.
Sitting on Top of the World
Oct. 21, 1971
Auditorium Theatre

Came here for this, glad to see this at the top. The sloppy vocals makes it more rowdy and rocked in my opinion, the band goes into a frenzy via Keith & Jerry. Too good!
The Eleven
Feb. 12, 1969
Fillmore East

What an intro! Shamefully overlooked, great show!
Truckin'
Oct. 21, 1971
Auditorium Theatre

Uninspired playing, the only thing notable here is that they actually sing the verses correctly - not even close to being a good '71 version; 11/15/71 knocks this one out of the park twice.
