Great interplay and hot jam in every combination in the birth month of the great quintet. Forgotten show.

Not my favorite song, but this one rocks. Plus Jerry eviscerates a heckler after.

Goddamned hard crunching rocker here. Jerry's guitar is so sharp it sounds like breaking glass (in a good way).

They really push down on the 10/4 melodic form here, giving it a "The Main Ten" feel lost soon after. KG's 1st month is full of transition Playin's.

The Other One

Masterpiece. The Jam out of drums into the first verse is inventive and exploratory, very subtle interplay. Totally overlooked. Dig it.

Much more spacious (not Space though - no inter-galactic rocket ride here) with a relaxed and airy vibe, like a mellow walk in an open field. Nice version.

Sure does: Nothing at all disposable in this 2nd set. In 100 years people will still point to this as a perfect example of what the Dead could do.

Come for the Playin'>UJB>Dew>UJB>Playin' sandwich... stay for the beautiful and hot stella dessert. Love the high-energy, high harmonies.

I keep coming back to this one and finding new things in it. Deserves its place at the top of the heap.

Man. That's really a beautiful one. I know, it's Veneta, but there are reasons why it's so popular.
