U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)

McArthur Court, U of Oregon

Smokin' encore. You know the playing was hot when even this is a scorcher.

Smokin little number boosts the second set.

New Minglewood Blues

Bobby seems on this whole night, and Jerry's tone is unreal.

Surprised not to find this here.

One of the first Dead songs I ever heard way back in the day. Kicks off a raging Set II.

A touch faster than some of the others from this month. Stunningly beautiful playing.

This "Supplication" is a thing of beauty! Some great exploratory playing.

In the mood for a great LLR? Look no further.

Good first lead, then Jerry wonkles most of the next verse. Rhythmic but less melodically stellar than 05-12. One of the neatest parts comes when Jerry anticipates the chord change to F and has to maneuver out of it. Up vote.
Sugaree

long, patient, hits nice peak and band keeps exploring after that. Nice exploratory second section before final verse, but loses steam after that. Don't personally care for the 05-11 show, but there's a nice "Sugaree" from the otherwise mostly unremarkable 05-03 show.
