Distinctly slower, with a greasier funk vibe. Surprised it isn't here. Different from the others and lots of fun.

Because every song in this show deserves to be here. This is a solid rocking version, just excellent.

One of the perfect ones, and one of the last songs from this epic show to be posted here: A near perfect show from '72, one of the best.

Jer: "This is a new song... and it goes exactly like this". Pigpen: "No it don't." Either way, it kicks like the good stuff.

Shocked it isn't here yet. Did you stop at Donna's beastly howl? If you did, you missed Jerry rip spacetime. Listen up and dig this Playin', really.

Admit it Glyn... that was you yelling all over the end of this, wasn't it? ;^)

The Dead invented hard rock. There it is. This is when they were at their most dangerous, their most 'hide the kids' threatening to the squares. This version shoots you out of the cannon and blows you to a million pieces, before landing back safely at the beautiful Cryptical to follow: Jagged and heavy peaks, scary circles within circles and loops and fractal roller coasters where you're either on the bus or under it. Those who know don't always say, and those who say don't always know....

Swagger and strut. Bobby just owns the vocals, plus what's been said here already about Keith, who's just brilliant throughout this underrated show.
