One of my favorite Dead live performances of all. Such energy. So glad it I have the honor of letting it edge 3/18/95; that version is fun, but this one manages to be both fun and loose as well as tight and intense. I adore this performance.

The end of the first half when they start to transition into "Saint of Circumstance" is so hauntingly beautiful. "Saint" seems like a bizarre choice for "Dark Star" to segue into, but it leads so some spectacular work from Hornsby, who also shines on the second half. Phil is a beast throughout.
Playin' In The Band

Memorial Stadium

Not the best "Playin'," but man Phil is ON FIRE for this one.

This is the version where I really feel in love with this pairing. Super jammed out and rockin'.
