High energy, and remarkable that they could pull it off after an hour of continuous jamming. Great show all round.

In spite of equipment stalls the set really takes off here. Great Miller mix showcases Bobby in the left channel. Beautiful version.

Keith is high in the mix and it's just brilliant. The NFA was a bit sloppy, but they nail the GDTRFB and the outro.

Fast and loose, with great Keith barrelhouse fills. Jerry doesn't want to quit. Good fun.

Playin' In The Band

Coliseum Stadium

Just cruising around nicely until about 15:00 and then they hit the warp drive and it just goes everywhere. Great '74 sound. Good, show maybe a bit underated.

Rambler Room

First time played by the Dead, 9 years before it went into regular rotation. Was Jerry already playing this in solo gigs?

Very beautiful ensemble playing.

Deeply weird meltdown coming out of a deceptively light and intricate jam. Real bugs under the skin and voices in the head carpet crawling towards the end.

Read about this in a New Yorker article about tapers. "Deadhead" by Nick Paumgarten in the 26.11.2012 edition. Thanks Nick, if you're lurking here, it's a beauty, and you pulled me into the 80s for a nice minute. Had this tape too and always found it... mystical. Great fun.
