This version soars thanks to Keith's dynamic piano work. You'd never know they'd only been playing JS for a month...great one.

Check out the cool China Cat jam leading into GDTRFB! Some pristine versions of NFA>GDTRFB from the Fall '71 tour - this one's no exception.

Kiel Auditorium

Closes a fantastic post-drums-space sequence. Just an all-around good one that benefits from the incredible momentum beforehand.

Charged up with energy coming out of the hot Alabama opener. They really go after this one, and makes it stand out. Great stuff!

Loads of fun! Like versions from '79, it's an interesting hybrid version - the energy of 80's versions but minus the second solo. Still kicks, though!

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

Auditorium Theatre

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

Giants Stadium

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

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