Winterland Arena

This might be the fastest I've heard them play (and I love it!). Certainly the fastest song with the word "blues" in it!

El Paso
Dec. 31, 1971
Winterland Arena

The bounciest, most rocking version I have heard. Do not Paso on this one (I'll show myself out.)

Take A Step Back
Dec. 8, 1973
Cameron Indoor Stadium, Duke U

One of the earliest versions of America's favorite fun game: Go Back to Your Seats. Happens before Around & Around.

Berkeley Community Theatre

Right after this powerful version, there's a lovely segment where Donna introduces herself and her husband to Deadheads.

Promised Land
Sept. 28, 1972
Stanley Theatre

Rocking, although Weir seems a little out of breath. Check out Jerry's scream after "...and the poor boy's on the line."

Strand Lyceum

Yes, I forgot that Pigpen was perfect in everything he ever did because he died young (I'm a big fan of his by the way)
Eyes Of The World
June 26, 1974
Providence Civic Center

HOW COULD YOU MANAGE TO DO THIS AFTER 4+ HOURS OF MUSIC ?!
Sing Me Back Home

Strand Lyceum

RIP Merle Haggard... Beautiful, emotive version of a wonderful ballad, although Pigpen could have done a better job with his organ (the instrument, I mean.)
Little Sadie
Jan. 31, 1970
The Warehouse

The most beautiful thing I have ever heard, it changed me.
Samba In The Rain
Jan. 1, 1965
Rich Stadium

I just love me a 1965' Samba.
