Deal

Civic Center

Blazin' hot smokeshow of syncopated bends, slides, and hammer ons that turns the intensity up to 11

Let It Rock

Poplar Creek

Clarence Clemons sits in for the whole show and really is a great addition. They rock this Let It Rock better than anywhere else I have heard anywhere

Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad

Portland Memorial Coliseum

BeggarsTomb summed it up. Really from Peggy-O on through this Goin Down The Road, the Dead were 100% on fire this night.
Not Fade Away

Portland Memorial Coliseum

Spectacular version. As much jazz as it is funk and much different than what I'm used to.
Truckin'

Portland Memorial Coliseum

This monumental jam makes me want to catch a ride on a spaceship with Capt. Dead2ThaCore. Ride, Captain, Ride!

I find this song and this version of this song very powerful
Weather Report Suite
May 19, 1974
Portland Memorial Coliseum

Weir's vocals are impressive and Ernie5 is right about Keith's hypnotic keys. They were almost always flat on the background vox for Prelude/Part 1, but they nail a lot of of it here. Let It Grow is fantastic. Garcia's playing is inspirational and sublime
