Audio problems abound, but I quite fancy Jerry's playing in "Scarlet."

Fast. Tight. Happy. What more could you ask for?

Not Fade Away

Grand Prix Racecourse

Be forewarned- the sound quality on this is absolutely brutal, but it's worth it if you can make it through.

Felt Forum - Madison Square Garden

Out of a killer "DS," and a nice reading of a classic blues tune. Dig those changes!

Thanks all– I'll pose the same question to you that Grendel answered. Give me something to stretch my listening habits, pitch a show for me to check out!

Some nice contributions from Bruce on accordion here.

That was bugging me, I had to figure out. At the start of "Fire," Lesh is playing the "wrong notes" (replacing the B and A that we expect with G# and F#, creating tension by implying that the chords the rest of the band is playing are minor). Sick stuff, no wonder folks went running. Was this typical for this tour/year?
