Broome County Arena

I usually don't care about this song, but this is a superior take. Highlights are the ripping solo and agreeable vocals throughout.

The reason we all love 1970 and the two set acoustic/electric format. Don't miss the NRPS set from this night either!

Rare, gut-wrenching ballad.

Opening of a very famous show. It's like you're in the balcony with the AUD.

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!

Roosevelt Stadium

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!
