You know the crew is feeling spritely and in a cowboy mood when they play this, blessed frequently in '89 with it.

Sweet, sweet, down-home and yokey Jerry.

Pigpen cut revived for the 90's with the group in kind of a slow crawling king snake vibe. Vince knows how to lay down some organ. Top late form.

Playin' In The Band

Old Renaissance Faire Grounds

God damn, staggering Playin'. They're so damn locked in they're starting to sound like Coltrane, McCoy, Jimmy Garrison and Elvin Jones. This is definitely the only rock music i would compare to that. I think 8/27/72 has to be my choice for best Dead gig ever.
Sugar Magnolia
April 7, 1972
Wembley Empire Pool

Breathtaking transition from a sprawling, regal Dark Star into a RIPPING Sugar Mag on this gig. Pure Euro 72 goodness.
