Awesome near 7 minute Playin that starts to go out there as it would much more in a few months. Really interesting period for the band imo

Real short, might as well be the outro jam of Playin into a tremendous St. Stephen

More than makes up for it with His gee-tar playing. Real good solo in this one

The Austin Municipal Auditorium

My non-Deadhead girlfriend hearing this segment: “this music is so chaotic!” Well heck yes it is and they’re the only band who could pull this off, let alone attempt it. Great version with two awesome transitions on either end

Seamless transition into China Cat. Comes out of nowhere. This type of juxtaposition is just one wonderful reason why primal Dead is just so damn great
