Anthemic beauty. Great ensemble singing and powerful pacing to it. Then Janis steps on stage for Love Light, so there's that.

Very mellow cowboy ballad, like the great Nov. 8th '70 above. Check 'er out. They were experimenting with it here.

Beautiful acoustic version. The whole first set is one exquisite jewel after another.

After some rowdy banter the good old GD pull out a magical beauty here. Acoustic fans shouldn't overlook this one!

Pretty unknown show, but this FoTD is just perfect. Some sound issues around the edges, but here Jer's voice is angelic and sweet.

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.
