Sweet fun in a gorgeous acoustic set. Clapalong crowd adds to the joy.

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

Turn On Your Love Light

Capitol Theater
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
Oct. 31, 1970
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.

Playin' In The Band
Feb. 22, 1974
Winterland Arena
I'd vote on this one twice if I could. Just listened to it again for the first time in a while, and it really has everything you could want from a '73-'74 Playin'. Brilliant, spontaneous, electrifying set closer.
Looks Like Rain

Tivolis Koncertsal
Beautiful slide work. Perfect and discrete harmonies with Donna Jean. This is a 'never better' version for me. Love this konzert.
Dark Star
June 27, 1969
Veterans Auditorium
Nice stretched out version with different sections and melodic/rhythmic innovations, transiting from the simple and pretty to the hard rocking, to prankster tweekishness. Take an afternoon off and get with this whole show for some historic, mercurial and simply beautiful Dead.
Candyman
June 29, 1976
Auditorium Theatre
So many ways this song breathes life. This one puts me into a blissful peace. Jerry gets an incredible wah sound out, which must have just blown minds.
Caution
April 8, 1972
Wembley Empire Pool
Do whatever you can to hear this if you haven't already. They must have really blown some minds with DS>SugarMag>Caution. Reaches speedmetal levels of massive shreddosity.
