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

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.

Avalon Ballroom
A cappella finish after someone apparently kicked out their instrument amps right at the end. Good old Grateful Dead just said "F. it, let's keep singing". Love it.

Real blues. Pigpen was on this night and the show belongs to him.

Thanks MerryJerry Wacked: You're right. This is an exploratory, muscular and gorgeous version. Seems they were putting a lot of energy in this song all tour. Brother Bertrando left us a great AUD not to be missed.
Playin' In The Band

Hollywood Bowl
An absolutely smoking, brilliant Playin'. A wild ride full of the wheels within wheels of groupmind. Sounds like they could have been headed into a MLB jam before they arrived at Wharf Rat. And the reprise kicks serious ass.

May - June '74 Wharf Rats just slay me. This one is so beautiful. My god, is it beautiful.
