Intensely jammed with focus to spare...Bob, Brent, Jerry, Phil, Bill, and Mick rock the house

Pauley Pavilion

The most awesomely minimalistic intro I've heard, and indescribably epic transition into a beautiful Fire

Jerry soars and falls gracefully and Donna shines...truly beautiful rendition. Bob really performs with grace and power as well.

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.

Strand Lyceum

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