Whether it's the 16th or 23rd, it's a killerdillerthriller. Ripping version, with a perfect transition from Truckin'.

Energy and power that struts its stuff. This show seems direly overlooked. Very nice mix and sound quality.

Beautiful jam and transition. The mix shows off Bobby nicely, which is rare for the era. His contribution is beautiful here. Enjoy.

Sultry swaggering deeply opiated vibe, with a hot harp solo. Was this Pig or Will Scarlet?

Exceptional version, slightly mellower tempo, with great harmonies and tight jamming. Surprised it's not here yet.

This is why I listen to the Dead.

Check out the C.Miller mix for great rocking balls-out Winter '73 Dead. Perfect mix with every instrument clear and balanced.

Stealth show with pristine versions throughout a perfect 1st set - and then the 2nd set just takes off.
Playin' In The Band

Boston Music Hall

Listening to this one a lot this week, and I agree with ferretstew. The band is just so tight and together. The energy builds and builds, and this version stands out for its coherence and the arc of its composition. I also love 02 Dec., which gets much weirder, but this one shows off their virtuosity.

Never have I dug this song so much as this version. Sweet but strong.
