The music sounds like something you'd hear being played at a carnival.

It starts off slow, then the booogie kicks in and this one sprouts its wings and soars.

Oh, God - Bob's line before they start the tune is priceless.

It Takes A Lot To Laugh, It Takes A Train To Cry
Aug. 18, 1991
Shoreline Amphitheatre

With this, every version the Dead played is here.
Big River
March 19, 1977
Winterland Arena

They hand the stage over to Keith and he runs with it. He is kicking some serious butt here.
Let It Rock
Dec. 31, 1975
Keystone

Jerry hated Nicky Hopkins. Nicky wanted to talk between every song and Jerry wanted him to shut up. Jerry got his way.
Next Time You See Me
March 5, 1972
Winterland Arena

In the instrumental break, Jerry, Keith and Pig are all into it.
Bertha
March 5, 1972
Winterland Arena

Even Charlie Miller couldn't fix this one. It sounds like they're playing in a tunnel. Yes - the quality gets better, but it's really lousy during Bertha.
