Jerry and Pigpen sing together in this one, and they brought the passion!

High intensity, coming in hot after a hot Caboose jam.

Powerful version. The vocal entrance at the end brings the house down, you can tell they're having fun; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gjjkcVIoys

Bob goes for it in the rap and Garcia smiles a bit. A fun latter day version, though it never jams out like mad. Video of it here! https://www.youtube

Playin' In The Band
Aug. 12, 1972
Sacramento Memorial Auditorium

Around 7:00 (on the listed source) Keith bombards the band and Garcia takes up the offer. Intricate and complex, incredibly packed. This show is filled with outstanding playing!

Huge! After listening to the Veneta version for a while, this one fills the same place - and more.
Dancin' in the Streets

Cobo Arena

On the aud.warner source, the user "npjg" left a pretty good comment regarding the quality of this show. It's almost too perfect - especially the second set. The highlight is this sandwich!

Winterland Arena

Billy, Mickey and Phil lock into the Cosmic Charlie tease at about 9 minutes, since Bobby played a lick just before. They leave it quickly when Garcia pushes the return to the theme. Cool version, but not the best of the 1970 versions.
New Potato Caboose

Bellarmine College

Really underrated show.
