Sweet outro on this one. Donna's got the sweet harmony and Phil with the bass vox makes it pretty kind.

MAMU is so often overlooked, but this one is hiding in plain sight. Hard jumpin' rocker here with a savage pulse, and great banter after.

After the ultra-outre Dark Star, this pure rock and roll distillate is just perfect goodness. A burner with Billy hard charging in 4-wheel drive.

Note for note perfect. The only reason it isn't here yet is that the shows between Europe and Berkeley/Veneta are too often overlooked.

Possibly the highest energy piece in the whole show. An excellent jam that left the crowd smiling, for certain.

Jerry shredding Playin', turning it on, up, inside out. Ridiculous light-speed soloing. This is why I listen to the Dead.

He's Gone>Truckin>TOO>Eyes = over 60 minutes of perfect jamming as they got their amazing '73 sound together in this wet dream of a 2nd set .

Check out the 'silence' around 7:30 followed by Phil's amazing sonic boom re-entry to go into the verse. Bang!
