It can't be said enough how well Bobby plays this show. This is basically a rhythm guitar duel with Jerry, and it kicks ass.

An early but good one. The rhythm section kills, and Jerry's solo is wah-heavy and psychedelic.

Long before this song was a 15-minute soloing showcase, Jerry put the gusto into his vocals. This one exemplifies that - the whole band sounds great!

The band hits another gear toward the end, especially after the false ending. I've never heard Billy go as crazy as this before. Great one!

This song was a firestorm in the early Keith era - just listen to him bang those keys here! You can practically see the smoke billowing from his keys.

Toasty, and coming out of an incredible "Playing" sandwich, the band is all fired up. Jerry's vocals near the end are nice and aggressive!

Never heard this before, and I'm not sure how - I'm absolutely speechless. Just...wow.

Auditorium Theatre

Love Pig's organ, and of course, his wonderful soulful singing. Jerry's on point too.

Probably my favorite non-song the Dead ever did. Funky as hell!

Holy SMOKES, this one is hot! A big highlight of this show.
