Notable for the "miracle beer" Bobby passes around to launch the song. "Everybody just wet your tongue". Okaaaaaay.

Playin' In The Band
Jan. 2, 1972
Winterland Arena

One of the last ones with a clear "The Main Ten" jam in it (around 2:50), namely the primordial ooze that becomes the Playin' we know in a few months.

Fully loaded, hard charger. Tight, uptempo, and jumping.

Clanging twanging banger with just enough grit in the gears, could have gone a bit higher, but tight and right in its way. Underrated show here folks.

Solid and soulful. Jerry's voice is on point.

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.
