At least as good as Barton, but not as well known.

Each night of this run has a stellar encore. I prefer 04-29's UJB, but this one's still very solid.

Estimated Prophet

St. Louis Arena

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?
Eyes Of The World

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.
Bird Song

The Spectrum

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