Far out Eyes>Picasso>Fingers>Saint... tremendous group effort. Flying colors, this version is wow. Painterly seeping aged beauties, glorious texture

insistent and hard edged, and paradoxically, pillowy with the 2-keyboard whammy. Every bust out is special

Not Fade Away

The Austin Municipal Auditorium

God damn they sound amazing.... I do prefer the late 70's for NFA but god damn this one earns my respect big time. The china cat weaving and that amazing jam before GDTRFB are a prime showcase of Dead creativity and interplay. They get super out of control on this version, and yet they intersperse the firestorm with the most gorgeous soft passages, it's truly a must hear.

cresting and rippling version, fucking stellar. Jerry's solo is just heartbreaking
