Solid, strident version. Bobby and Phil take on the rowdies with a cool rap after, too. Great first set all around.

Punk rock version, responding to an aggressive Detroit crowd. "Relax man, we don't respond to that shit" sez Jerry.

Jumped up, pushing against the pulse. Seems like the rowdy crowd inspired our boys here. Gritty, almost aggressive vibe.

Strong pulse and Jerry giving it his all, vocally and instrumentally. Why doesn't this show have more love? Everything in the set is just slaying it.

Hard driver kicking off the show with Billy firing on all 8 cylinders. Mixer laureate C. Miller gives us a gem here, good copy after 1:10 of FM warble

Playin' In The Band
May 17, 1974
P.N.E. Coliseum

There, right there, at 11:15 in: Phil melts every single brain in the house. He does it again around 17:20.... Seriously, though it seems that Phil's interest in electronic sounds, leading to Seastones later this year, (and ultimately to the Space segment), starts becoming increasingly evident during this tour and this Playin' shows it.

Fresh and energetic. Sounds like they'd been rehearsing it a lot for the Mars Hotel recordings. Donna reproduces her "solo" from record almost note for perfect note.
Greatest Story Ever Told

Old Renaissance Faire Grounds

A song that never gets the love, but Jerry just shreds it so massively. We know the boys could soar, tweak, trip balls out, and steal your face, but they can also rock and rock hard. No further proof necessary, here it is.

Greek Theatre - University of California

A whole lotta Dead packed into this: '68 coming on like the big bang that shoots you out of a bright sparkling cannon until you land somewhere in the mid-70s....
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Cow Palace

Somewhere in here they just take of and soar, transforming this from an interesting show into an epic one. Great version.
