Totally overlooked. One of the prettiest mid-sections I know of, even if there isn't much of a jam section to it.

Imagine how blown away the freaks were, expecting 'Alligator' and getting this stunning intro into the country Dead.

Really boys? Take the red pill and go back in time to this rowdy show. 2nd ever and Jer nails it after telling the crowd to "shut the fuck up".

Plugged in and slashingly ("thwok! thwok! thwok! thwok")! energetic opener for a rowdy crowd.

Deep sounds from a pivotal moment in Dead History. A treat for AUD lovers.

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

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

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?
