Mysterious beauty under the B- sound quality (Phil sounds kinda like a tuba, which is cool). Beautiful vocal harmonies and break in the middle.

Massive driving groove leading straight into one of the top DS of all time. My ears hear a flirt with NFBM jam that never quite hatches.

Sweetness and light insight a wickedly melting Playin' sandwich. Pretty, gentle harmonies found somewhere out there the deep dark chaos. Tight sound.

Long exploratory solos, smouldering jams, cool interplay. Won't blow you off your chair but very inventive and interesting.

Seastones: Completely wild and rises to a freaky climax. May cause brain blisters. Not for children.

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!
