With that fresh brilliance of its time. The show starts with country bluegrass, goes blue, then psychedelicore: A perfect '70 combi.

Hot burner, with Pig's voice just perfect. He drives everyone to higher and higher vocal heights.

I love the hard chargers, but this one is different: Almost mellow with a slow simmering groove. Cool, not hot. Check it out.

Kicks ass. I'm not so familiar with '82, but this one convinces me to explore a bit deeper. Lovely.

Nothing in this incomplete 2nd Set should be missed. Nov. '73 is a great place to start anyone on the Dead and it's a pity this show's not complete. This this Dew is an immaculate beautyand it's part of an insane Dew>PITB>UJB>PITB megajam.

Starts really pretty, then gets even smoother as it lifts into the outer atmosphere. Before you know it you're hitting light speed before one of the most beautiful MLB jams of all time - it really feels like the sound of an out-of-body experience. Just so good, just exactly perfect.

Correction? Date on Setlist Program is 10 July '69. Didn't realize this was a double post until too late.
