Totally overlooked. One of the prettiest mid-sections I know of, even if there isn't much of a jam section to it.

Imagine how blown away the freaks were, expecting 'Alligator' and getting this stunning intro into the country Dead.

Really boys? Take the red pill and go back in time to this rowdy show. 2nd ever and Jer nails it after telling the crowd to "shut the fuck up".

Plugged in and slashingly ("thwok! thwok! thwok! thwok")! energetic opener for a rowdy crowd.

Deep sounds from a pivotal moment in Dead History. A treat for AUD lovers.

Viola Lee Blues

Avalon Ballroom

A cappella finish after someone apparently kicked out their instrument amps right at the end. Good old Grateful Dead just said "F. it, let's keep singing". Love it.

Real blues. Pigpen was on this night and the show belongs to him.

Thanks MerryJerry Wacked: You're right. This is an exploratory, muscular and gorgeous version. Seems they were putting a lot of energy in this song all tour. Brother Bertrando left us a great AUD not to be missed.

An absolutely smoking, brilliant Playin'. A wild ride full of the wheels within wheels of groupmind. Sounds like they could have been headed into a MLB jam before they arrived at Wharf Rat. And the reprise kicks serious ass.

May - June '74 Wharf Rats just slay me. This one is so beautiful. My god, is it beautiful.
