Playin' In The Band

Dallas Memorial Auditorium

Wow, seemingly a very overlooked gem. Tension and release, weaving effortlessly from mellow jam segments to soaring peaks, without screechy breakdown

The Eleven
Aug. 24, 1968
Shrine Auditorium

Tizzy of frantic jamming, then boils down into a bluesy goo > flawless transition to Death Don't Have
Bertha

Capitol Theater

BIG bounce to this one. Amped UP
Easy Wind

Some real bouncy blues and sharp Garcia licks. This one is fantastic
Promised Land
March 26, 1987
Hartford Civic Center

Even the Promised Land cranks in this show. Big ending peak and crowd is going bonkers
When Push Comes to Shove
March 26, 1987
Hartford Civic Center

On paper, this first set gets a "meh" and a shrug, but I cannot stop listening to it on the latest Dave's. Every song is given the proper treatment and the boys are ON. This song, one I never gave any real attention to, is played with power and joy. Now I wish they played it more often - has the bounce similar to "Might as Well" - I def dig it
