another spicy jambalaya rendering from this configuration. Tight and loose simultaneously with excellently intuitive coasting byway jamming.

mournfully acrobatic delivery and searing tiger, love it for days

barrels in and kicks ass. Definitely some first show of the year magic on this. Revives the blues/soul energy of set 1 to leave us smilin' and dancin

Thrilling and ominous. gets totally cranial, still retaining the pitb main ten for the duration. Excellent tonal space.

loose kinetic cannonball energy and more fluid acrobatic bluesy group playing deserve another shout out tonite!

kind of shocked i've never heard this, there are simply "TOO" many great 72 TOO's to wrap my head around the excellent improvisational music that the Dead were slingin' out night after night. Having been out in the Western US mountains this summer there is something kind of earth shatteringly insane about the vibes out there when you are an east coast kid. Its simultaneously enthralling and also menacing the endless expanses out there... Its uber psychedelic... I love dead shows from colorado they always just rule.

godchaux's solo is really something... probably his finest moment. Another one of those times when you just know the heads in attendance must have been freaking out, feeling everything dissolve into the oneness. It doesnt get much better than Bird song for me and the GD. for me it's the perfect combination of mournfulness and levity, structure and improv, meaning and mystery. Kreutzmann's touch on this is just crazy man, he really got in there and is perfectly straddling the fulcrum of pocket. Garcia is unbelievable, tidal surges of emotion in every freaking note the dude played, he was obviously one of those freaks who lived and breathed music. Stupendous bird song, i feel like you can't go wrong with this tune.

hot keith and phil

Wow! the group timbre they acheive on this is unreal... bright clear and rockin.. Godchaux is the mvp of the version. Light a doob to this fall 77 casey.

i disagree.... heavy and wise
