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.

Viola Lee Blues

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.

Dillon Gym

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

Hollywood Bowl

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
July 21, 1974
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.
