Groovy yoga from soft space to barroom swashbuckler of a brent wheel. Crack harmonies and psyched out blissy vibe. Pummeling!! no jam

Embryonic, unhinged and primal! Tiger lead is positively lacerating, everyone in attendance was split into dust

powerful one from a 5-show hockey rink run. Zeus bolt tone and magnitude, exciting stuff.

Loose Lucy
Nov. 11, 1973
Winterland Arena

Pssshhhhhhh. Stone cold lean and mean cut. DEFINITELY the best loose lucy ever, how this track was meant to be heard. I would be going absolutely bananas, spinning, insane to this if i was right there. Still utterly addicted to this Looselucy and play it nearly every chance i get, one of my favorite dead concerts in general
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Winterland Arena

unforgettably unique and slow china rider. This is one that was really settling into its benchmark rendition style setting it for the decades to come
Me and Bobby McGee

Crazy night and real warrior-like version. RIP Janis.
To Lay Me Down

Winterland Arena

Nice, thoughtful, reverent version. Good for some private thoughts and a dark room.
Black Throated Wind
Nov. 11, 1973
Winterland Arena

Can tell 11/11/73, Winterland, is a huge night already. Bobby sounds superlative on this version of black throated. And the guys sound squeaky clean, as if they are Elvis's backing band or something. Big stuff happening tonight
