Wait a minute! Hard to figure how this one hasn't been posted yet. Very solid all 'round performance by all.

Clear, pure, and beeyootiful. The boys' voices are on, the sound well mixed, and all is well.

Hard to Handle

Community Concourse
Tight, sweet version. Doesn't have the inferno element from some at the top, but a strong one nevertheless.

Comes in super sweetly after a short and scary TOO, like feather whispers needed to get the mind back in the body. Good trip guiding, really.

Bobby's Satan's-goina-getchya vocals add to the wild speedy visciousness of this monster.

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.
