Clean and confident reading with lots of personality from Phil and Vince.

Looks Like Rain
June 9, 1976
Boston Music Hall

The emotion is just dripping off of this version, with supremely well-crafted Jerry solo. Bob and Donna deliver a powerful duet driven by spirited work from the rhythm section for a version that stands out in a very genersouly jammed first set.
The Music Never Stopped
Aug. 13, 1975
Great American Music Hall

That last solo is too hot not to upvote, despite the very bumpy landing.

Bill at his most thoughtful and creative. Gotta listen with the "space" jam on the GD movie soundtrack to hear just how gracefully he rebuilds the foundation.
Truckin'
Oct. 19, 1974
Winterland Arena

I agree with WALSH, they distinctly play the riff and then jam out of the chords, making everything that follows part of Truckin. As such, this is THE Truckin. So many different possibilities are explored and deconstructed only to be immaculately rebuilt in a way the Dead didn't always pull off so perfectly. This is top shelf Gratefully Dead y'all.
Brown Eyed Women
July 19, 1974
Selland Arena

That smooth energy goes into attack mode on the main solo break, with some competitive yet harmonious leads from Phil, Jerry and Keith. Underrated.
