Fun, tight version with great energy and tight vocals. Fun stuff.

McDonough Arena - Georgetown University

Begins sounding like the epic hard charging beast it becomes over the next months.

Not Fade Away

Cleveland Music Hall

The NFA>GDTRFB>NFA sequence in its infancy: 3rd time played, and remarkably smooth and perfect transitions with exuberant jamming.

The Other One

Cleveland Music Hall

Super-charged hard rocker here. Hits all the 1970 highlights, with power and precision: a white knuckler. Tape is rough AUD, w/ C. Miller cleanup.

One of Pig's best: Perfect vox, great harp solo. Jerry too. Some tape issues, but thanx Mr. Miller... thanks a lot.

Here Comes Sunshine

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.
Eyes Of The World

Pauley Pavilion - University of California

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.
Playin' In The Band

Old Renaissance Faire Grounds

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.
