Whopping late '77 version of this, the Dead intuitively coasting the waves of the atmosphere's collective imagination.

Playin' In The Band

RFK Stadium

classical GD from an early ballpark show. along with the birdsong, this PITB just lilts with a pillow-y touch, very nice music. Gets crackling and gooey, beckoning the subconscious softly.
Playin' In The Band

Boston Garden

Trancy spritely version,seminal 1 drummer years flow and groove. Economical but powerfully rewarding.
Dark Star
Sept. 10, 1972
Hollywood Palladium

What an incredible dark star this is... roils, contorts, leers, soothes, funkifies, space, does all of this with an exquisite sense of melodic voicing for half an hour then goes into an excellent sing me back home. Two weeks after veneta and it's got boatloads of that 72 magic. Must hear.
