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

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

The Other One
Dec. 19, 1973
Curtis Hixon Convention Hall

Very interesting run on DP1 with the verse and chorus of the other one quietly tucked into about 20 minutes of lysergic jamming
Here Comes Sunshine
Dec. 19, 1973
Curtis Hixon Convention Hall

Love to see this at no. 1, it's truly a notable version and the jamming is really hitting the spot with lots of inter-woven communication and shredding, shows you why it's like Bill Graham said "The dead aren't the best at what they do - they're the only ones who do what they do"
Playin' In The Band
Dec. 19, 1973
Curtis Hixon Convention Hall

a right ruckus, barn-storming romp of a version1!!!!
Take A Step Back
July 10, 1987
JFK Stadium

Everrrrrr so heady I feel as though I finally understand this very awkward/alienating but in a cute way, Bob Weir audience bit. Then the tune just goes. What's the deal with this one? Never heard it
