To my ears, Bob's best overall performance here, and the whole band really seems to be feeding off the same special energy

Quite possibly vastly underrated...Keith's work is magnificent, and he is obviously feeling it from the start in this show

Based on set list alone, the jam portion stands out...this Terrapin kicks it off very powerfully

I have come around on the notion that the El Paso is a nice weird turn, or as one post said, a nice Prankster moment. And, yeah, maybe the world would've ended if they had gone into Dew, so that's a good thing. By extension, one might say, the Pranksters saved the world.

And who could argue with the guy? "anything" they played in that glorious year was worth a listen

Fillmore East (Late Show)

That's fantastic. Seriously, are there any contemporaries that can come even close to the Dead when it comes to drawing emotions out of listeners? I highly doubt it. Nothin like 'em.

I'd say go there indirectly, and experience this greatest of all jam sets in its entirety.
