New Minglewood Blues

SF Civic

Holy Phil! This one has some serious muscle behind it, courtesy of Mr. Lesh's thumping bass. The solos ain't bad either!

Sugar Magnolia
Nov. 20, 1971
Pauley Pavilion

Explosive, propulsive, a juggernaut of barrelhouse piano and tasty Garcia licks. Just what a Sugar Mags should be.

You Win Again

Pauley Pavilion

Just the third performance, and it's an A+ banger of a country twanger. I wish they'd kept this song in the rotation.

Big Railroad Blues

Pauley Pavilion

Has that great chugging rhythm of '71 versions. Keith (per usual) is a huge factor, but Billy's drumming is just as potent here. Awesome version!

Pauley Pavilion

Keith made all the difference turning this into a barrelhouse powerhouse. What a tremendous performance of a fun song.

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.
Hurts Me Too
Aug. 24, 1971
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.
