Family Dog at the Great Highway

One of the definitive DS>SS>11 suites and it power rocks on its own. Young'uns: don't forget good '69...fear not and dive in!

Stretches further out than earlier ones, like the Birdsong before they seemed to find WR's deeper groove and go furthur with it. Result? Beeyootiful.

Saddle up heads, this is one of the nicest ones I know. Pre-Donna Jean, but the boys cover it with driving intensity and its nicely mixed for the era.

Nailed it. Part of the great April run that coalesces the '71 sound. Killing 1st set with manageable mix and saturation issues.

Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad

Civic Arena

One of the tightest and best jams I've ever heard. Absolute magic. Goes straight into a killer Lovelight. This is an amazing show. Check it out.

Kicks ass. I'm not so familiar with '82, but this one convinces me to explore a bit deeper. Lovely.

Nothing in this incomplete 2nd Set should be missed. Nov. '73 is a great place to start anyone on the Dead and it's a pity this show's not complete. This this Dew is an immaculate beautyand it's part of an insane Dew>PITB>UJB>PITB megajam.

Starts really pretty, then gets even smoother as it lifts into the outer atmosphere. Before you know it you're hitting light speed before one of the most beautiful MLB jams of all time - it really feels like the sound of an out-of-body experience. Just so good, just exactly perfect.

Correction? Date on Setlist Program is 10 July '69. Didn't realize this was a double post until too late.
