Dark Star> He's Gone > Wharf Rat > Truckin'. RFK 73. A great sequence at, in my opinion, the show of the year

Right between a sweet Here Comes Sunshine and an all-time Dark Star, the boys rip a quick A&A. Nice interplay between Keith and Jer

Fillmore East

The boys do this classic justice, both Jer and Pig have some solid playing. Not as rippin' as some of Europe 72s, but it's the April 71 run!

The end of a Half-Step>Frankin's Tower>MAMU triptych, not too shabby.

It's the Dead at the Garden, plenty for the whole family to enjoy! Some inspired playing on display

How is this so unloved?

MASSIVELY underrated. Wow. I have to give it another few listens before I can be descriptive, but I had never heard a hes gone within an other one, although there are plenty of pairings of the two. SBD is not perfect, but it's all there is and it's certainly not a rough listen on this section. Great jamming, Phil's high in the mix, and the spacey points are wonderful, the landing into he's gone comes down from Pluto

Oh, lord, this is the best one. *I just heard 10/1/77 and I'll rescind this claim, gotta listen more but that definitely makes me rethink it

This actually is the 12th, the tape circulated for a long time as 10-13, but they are the same. Regardless, it's one of the best primal dead shows and the tape is super clean.

Sloppy entrance into the jam, but Jerry does make up for it. It's pretty decent, but I wouldn't make the case for top 5. I kinda screwed myself by listening to the Tangled Up in Blue from 3/7/82 right before this which got me fiending for '82 dead. Jer's playing a nursery rhyme here by comparison, but still decent
