Deep and weird, capping a set full of loose fun. They get into it and it's all business with a wild trans into UJB, slipknot tease, and a great outro.

Seems like they're just having a great old time jamming together. A loose, fun-filled 1st set capping off a great month in Dead history.

The Ark

A beautiful monster with intrepid intricacies throughout. Rhythmic Jerry investigations of the theme plus Tom C. on celeste.

Massive and dark with fantastic interplay between everybody on stage. Doesn't quite melt down, but dances next to chaos just perfectly.

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.

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.

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....

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