Shoots you straight out of the cannon. Super tight jam into a sweet sweet Wharf Rat

Playin' In The Band

Civic Arena

Students of Playin's transformation from the Main Ten to country single to cosmic monster should check this. Tightly packed and just about to sprout.

Listen closely and you can hear exactly where April '71 becomes legendary.

Mega show here folks. Bobby's high in the mix and driving the train. The China's fine, but the Rider kicks serious ass.

Agreed. Loose tightness. Tight looseness. It's a real beauty in a somewhat underrated show.

Roscoe Maples Pavilion - Stanford University

Eyes has more complicated chord changes than a lot of the Dead's other work, and it's tough to jam over, but they absolutlely nailed it on its first-ever performance at the start of the amazing year of the Dead, 1973.

2nd performance ever, and it's loose and groovy but doesn't lift-off the way that others of the time do. Goes into a beautiful China Doll, and the whole show is just brilliant brilliant '73 Dead.

This DS starts with clear lyrical beauty from the whole band then moves into spaceyness. Really beautiful.

"We used to play for acid, now we play for Clive...." Great comment, Bobby. Wow. This is some of the best guitar work. I'm stunned.
