Great second set version after a 45 minute jam and emotive China Doll.

Major screw-up of the lyrics here, Pig tries to make up for it and then Jerry just steals the show. I can dig.

Great transition out of Mama Tried! Real cool little western pair in the middle of a fantastic first set

If Miami Dead had a sound, this would be it. Laid back, in the pocket, love what Billy is doing here along with the rest of the band. Very unique and awesome first set (and show!)

This may have converted me to finally appreciating the long jammed out Playins. Have always gotten bored or zoned out during other ones but this is as jazzy as the Dead ever played (that I've heard) and its simply gorgeous. Best. One. Ever. (to my ears)

oooh I do like this one better than Veneta, but check out 3/24/73 for my personal favorite. But man this version sends chills down my spine
