Great forward, driving pulse to this one. Sounds like the had a blast playing it.

Kind a chaotic mess, but with a shredding outro which extends the jam for 8 minutes. A strange, cool interpretation for SS fans like me.

Jerry at his most angelic, comes after Bobby at his most satanic. Beautiful stuff.

The jam kickstarts the band around minute 3, and they go from sleepyish to electric haywire.

McDonough Arena - Georgetown University

Very hot transition from Truckin'. Short but powerfull, a fully-charged space cannon.

Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication

Field House - Seneca College

May just be the best ever.

Oh yeah, this one sizzles. The Lightning portion is a bit short, but the great tightness and exhuberence to the Supplication makes up for it.
Brokedown Palace

Hill Auditorium

December '71 is one of the most consistently perfect months in Dead history. This tour has so many highlights its an embarrassment of riches, and has some of the best vocals ever.
Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad

Fox Theatre

Shows the genius of the group. The segue follows several other examples of surprising song melding throughout the second set. What fun. Check out the TOO>MAMUJam>TOO>Sittin' On Top Of The World>TOO a few minutes prior. Makes me think they were putting Keith to the test, saying 'alright freshman, how about we play every single thing we know all at once and make it sound amazing'...!

Freshness and power to the early versions. Jer's voice is strong and this one's a beaut.
