Like all your best friends sitting around the campfire, strumming and pickin' by starlight. Have a sip or a toke and enjoy....

Really lovely here, part of one of the warmest, most intimate acoustic sets of 1970.

Euphoria Ballroom

Jerry and Bob bite down hard and tear into this one with muscle. Their interplay lightens up and whoops! We find ourselves in Stephen.

Anthemic beauty. Great ensemble singing and powerful pacing to it. Then Janis steps on stage for Love Light, so there's that.

Playin' In The Band
Feb. 22, 1974
Winterland Arena

I'd vote on this one twice if I could. Just listened to it again for the first time in a while, and it really has everything you could want from a '73-'74 Playin'. Brilliant, spontaneous, electrifying set closer.

Tivolis Koncertsal

Beautiful slide work. Perfect and discrete harmonies with Donna Jean. This is a 'never better' version for me. Love this konzert.
Dark Star
June 27, 1969
Veterans Auditorium

Nice stretched out version with different sections and melodic/rhythmic innovations, transiting from the simple and pretty to the hard rocking, to prankster tweekishness. Take an afternoon off and get with this whole show for some historic, mercurial and simply beautiful Dead.
Candyman
June 29, 1976
Auditorium Theatre

So many ways this song breathes life. This one puts me into a blissful peace. Jerry gets an incredible wah sound out, which must have just blown minds.
Caution

Wembley Empire Pool

Do whatever you can to hear this if you haven't already. They must have really blown some minds with DS>SugarMag>Caution. Reaches speedmetal levels of massive shreddosity.
