Can't believe I'm submitting this. Long and fun drum circle that's notable because our Jer Bear whips out a steel pan and joins in.

Big River

Wembley Arena

For a few minutes wembley in '90 becomes the fillmore in the summer of 1970, the way the Dead just slide into a no-nonsense Big River. Shivers

Smokin' and refined version of this deep cut, on "All Hallow's Eve" as a chap might say

Let It Grow

William and Mary College Hall

PEWWWW a face-melter. Holy smokes, that was an amazing stand-alone 70's LIG that had this crowd in the palm of a particularly mischievous and volcanic Dead's hand. A riotous version essential for "face-spacing"

Here Comes Sunshine
Nov. 30, 1973
Boston Music Hall

Don't sleep on this loping, winding version. Lots to say about Here Comes Sunshine, which has a version that basically made Dick Latvala start Dick's Picks, see Tampa 73. I'd venture to say this jam comes close to that take
