Playin' In The Band

Staggering. The dead have been playing for over 3 hours, including a 32-min DS just now, and they still want to go ham on playing in the band. A generous night and lightning-hot, jazzy 73 gig for all to behold!!!!!!

DS->Eyes->PITB, three of rock music's dopest pleasures all in one place tonight in Springfield Mass, site of the invention of basketball. Unreleased, I would have been absolutely losing my mind at hearing this brilliant new Dead tune. but anyway, the jamming on this version is definitely turned on, and tuned in. A notable aspect is the loose modal jamming on the outro material with fluid, dexterous 5/8 riffs echoing throughout this version, going back and forth the dark n' light!!!
