Little ragged vocally, but a beautiful end to a wide-ranging and justly famous show.

Baba O'Riley > Tomorrow Never Knows
May 31, 1992

One of the first bits of Dead I ever heard.

Solidly played, beautiful cacophony at the end as the band varies the outro themes.

Wow. This might be my new favorite. Jerry's vocals are a little wobbly at times, but he's singing with passion, and the band is dialed in.

Jam Base has some cool clips from Lesh's monitor feed from two days before: http://www.jambase.com/Articles/121093/Flashback-Grateful-Dead-Debut-Unbroken-Chain-In-Philadelphia
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Oct. 14, 1983
Hartford Civic Center

How has no one mentioned Brent's organ part before the first verse yet?!?
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
March 9, 1981
Madison Square Garden

Yes. And that AUD sounds great.
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
June 14, 1991
RFK Stadium

This was worth it for the 2 minutes listed as "tuning" on the AUD I've been pitching elsewhere, but was less tuning and more a 2 minutes slow exploratory introduction to a "Help > Slip > Frank" of beauty.
