Shoots you straight out of the cannon. Super tight jam into a sweet sweet Wharf Rat

Civic Arena

Students of Playin's transformation from the Main Ten to country single to cosmic monster should check this. Tightly packed and just about to sprout.

Listen closely and you can hear exactly where April '71 becomes legendary.

Outrageous blazing jam.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Mega show here folks. Bobby's high in the mix and driving the train. The China's fine, but the Rider kicks serious ass.

Hill Auditorium

A fun rare bit of Chuck Berry's often-overlooked influence on the Dead (and all of Rock and Roll, for that matter).
Hurts Me Too

Hill Auditorium

Proof that Pig and Keith went together like potatos and gravy. Pig's voice harp solo are just tops.
Playin' In The Band

Omni Coliseum

Like much of '73 this is what I call "hot mellow". Energetic but nicely spacey. Cool version.
Dark Star
Dec. 6, 1973
Public Hall

Oh man, now that's a great Dark Star. Love when Phil just phases in around 12:00 (and again at 19:00) like you're abandoning gravity. That this kind of music was performed live is just too fucking cool for words, but hey, I like Seastones, too.
Here Comes Sunshine

Public Hall

Any advice on versions without that glaring AUD patch at the end?
