Short, but listen to crowd freak out when the riff starts. Solid show on Lennon's birthday.

Trippy board effects on vocals. Everything this song should be.

Wonderful interplay. Short and focused. Sounds like the band becomes one organism.

I'm kind of new here, so if there's a more experimental version of this tune from the month, can someone point me in its direction?

St. Louis Arena

I'm kind of new here, so forgive a couple of stupid questions: this seems pretty fast, but is that just me needing to get out more? And is the banter before "Estimated" the band talking about moving from there to here? And gotta love the ending, he tears it up!

It's best to hear it in the context of the surrounding "Playings," but it stands on its own as well. Listen to the AUD to hear the interaction between Garcia and Lesh.
Playin' In The Band

Roosevelt Stadium

Monster version, and the AUD is worth a listen, you can really hear the crowd react.

The Spectrum

Great version with some nice MIDI work from Jerry. Deserves a listen!
