Doesn't go into a cool rap, like some '71s, but pretty f-in tight jam and a great mix, with everyone sounding great.

Last one with Pig: A blasting sexy swagger with slow rising force like the Palladium one up top here. Listen past the tape problems and slow start.

As good an introduction to '71 as you'll ever hear. Someone else help me here or I'm going to list every song in this show!

Still brand new (7th ever) and it's got a lot of pump to it. This whole show is a forgotten treasure. C. Miller cleanup much improves the others.

As sweet and solid as they come: Opens a wonderful summer outdoor show in NYC. Surprised it isn't here yet.

Jerry shredding Playin', turning it on, up, inside out. Ridiculous light-speed soloing. This is why I listen to the Dead.

He's Gone>Truckin>TOO>Eyes = over 60 minutes of perfect jamming as they got their amazing '73 sound together in this wet dream of a 2nd set .

Check out the 'silence' around 7:30 followed by Phil's amazing sonic boom re-entry to go into the verse. Bang!
