Sweet fun in a gorgeous acoustic set. Clapalong crowd adds to the joy.

Slow waltz tempo. Bobby's voice gorgeous, Jerry's cantina filigree perfect. A perfect gem. AUD quality B-.

Whoa sweet mama! Back to this show and every note seems worth a shoutout.

Pigpen gets a woman pregnant on stage. Rough AUD but utterly worth it. The jam starting around 16:00 is very hot.

The Other One

School Gymnasium, S.U.N.Y.

A barnburner that suffers a bit from compressed sound quality (and a mic. problem), but still hot & worth a spin. Cryptical outro gets going nicely.

Big Railroad Blues

Harding Theatre

The levels on my copy are all way up in the red, the sound over-saturated and distorting, and I looooooove it. Slamming along at full locomotive power and just killing it.

Would nominate this as a good "entry-level" version for someone who likes old rock and roll, but isn't tuned into live Dead yet. Strong, solid, grooving pulse. Would also nominate this as a sweet-assed groove to dance nice and slow to with your lover. Just sayin'.

Bobby introduces with "We're going to do a Hugo Winterhalter song now", which is pretty Prankster when you think about it.

Jerry just can't stop here, and pulls them back from ending it not once, but twice, to great comic and great rock'n'roll effect. Loose as all hell, but he can play that guitar just like ringing a bell! Hell of a show opener.

Jerry sounds like champagne bubbles throughout. It's like he's got fifteen extra fingers.
