Great harp solo, solid smoldering jam. Pig's voice is brilliant.

A sweet and subtle acoustic gem, with some of the NRPS boys.

So deep. The crowd interaction is brilliant, and Pig just scoops everyone right up. The AUD funkiness just adds that extra depth.

One of the midnight shows that confuse historians, but one of the sweet-harmony Candymans that just slay me. No confusion there.

Distinctly slower groove than others, like they were trying something new with it. Does it work? Not sure, but an interesting take on it.

Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication
Nov. 2, 1977
Field House - Seneca College

May just be the best ever.

Oh yeah, this one sizzles. The Lightning portion is a bit short, but the great tightness and exhuberence to the Supplication makes up for it.
Brokedown Palace
Dec. 15, 1971
Hill Auditorium

December '71 is one of the most consistently perfect months in Dead history. This tour has so many highlights its an embarrassment of riches, and has some of the best vocals ever.
Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad

Fox Theatre

Shows the genius of the group. The segue follows several other examples of surprising song melding throughout the second set. What fun. Check out the TOO>MAMUJam>TOO>Sittin' On Top Of The World>TOO a few minutes prior. Makes me think they were putting Keith to the test, saying 'alright freshman, how about we play every single thing we know all at once and make it sound amazing'...!

Freshness and power to the early versions. Jer's voice is strong and this one's a beaut.
