Pigpen's funky organ and early Jerry and the boy, very driving sound for early Dead!

The boys were in a really nice place this night. Killer harp work and Jerry is smoking. This is one of the better shows of 71 IMO!!

Jerry's guitar is smoking here. The beat is really funky also. Always a crowd pleaser!

First version of this played in a while and you can hear the crowd road. What a contrast to the fast upbeat set taking it way down. Love it!!!

Funky as they get, this entire second set is as groovy as they come. What a treat!

I read on archive the promoters were worried the stands were literally going to collapse when they started the show the crowd was going so nuts :)
